Ingredients
Scale
- 6 large boiled eggs

- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard – adds zest
- 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar or lemon juice – for tanginess
- Salt and freshly ground Black Pepper – to taste
- Paprika or chopped fresh chives (optional garnishes)
Instructions
- Start by placing your eggs in a saucepan and covering them with cold water. Bring to a rolling boil over high heat. Once boiling, turn off the heat, cover, and let sit for 10-12 minutes. Transfer to an ice bath to stop cooking and make peeling easier.
- Carefully peel the cooled eggs, then slice in half lengthwise. Remove yolks and place in a mixing bowl.
- Mash the yolks with a fork until smooth. Add mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, vinegar or lemon juice. Mix until creamy. Season with salt and black pepper.
- Spoon or pipe the yolk mixture back into the egg whites. Garnish with paprika or chives for presentation.
Notes
- Use fresh eggs for easier peeling and better flavor.
- Adjust seasoning and add hot sauce or herbs for variation.
- Prepare the filling in advance and fill the eggs just before serving for optimal freshness.
