Ingredients

  • 6 large eggs
  • 3 tablespoons mayonnaise
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar (or lemon juice)

  • Fresh chives or parsley, for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Boil the Eggs:

  • Once boiling, cover the pan, remove it from heat, and let it sit for 12-15 minutes.
  1. Cool the Eggs:
  • Transfer the eggs to a bowl of ice water and let them cool for about 5-10 minutes. This makes peeling easier.

  • Mash the yolks with a fork and mix in mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, apple cider vinegar, salt, and pepper until smooth.
  1. Fill the Egg Whites:
  • Spoon or pipe the yolk mixture back into the egg whites.
  1. Garnish:
