Instructions
Boil the Eggs
Place the eggs in a saucepan and cover them with cold water.
Bring the water to a boil over medium heat.
Once boiling, remove the saucepan from heat, cover it, and let the eggs sit for 12 minutes.
Cool and Peel
Transfer the eggs to a bowl of ice water and let them cool for 5-10 minutes.
Gently crack the shell and peel the eggs under running water for easier removal.
Prepare the Filling
Slice each egg in half lengthwise.
Carefully scoop out the yolks and place them in a bowl.
Mash the yolks with a fork until smooth.
Mix the Filling
Add mayonnaise, mustard, vinegar, salt, and pepper to the mashed yolks.
Stir until the mixture is creamy and well combined.
Fill the Egg Whites
Spoon or pipe the filling back into the hollowed egg whites. A piping bag or zip-top bag with the corner snipped off works well for a polished look.
Garnish and Serve
Sprinkle paprika over the filled eggs for a touch of color.
Add chopped parsley or chives for extra freshness.
Arrange on a serving platter and enjoy!
