Ingredients
- 6 large eggs
- 3 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar (or lemon juice)
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Paprika, for garnish
- Fresh chives or parsley, for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Boil the Eggs:
- Place the eggs in a saucepan and cover them with water. Bring the water to a boil over medium-high heat.
- Once boiling, cover the pan, remove it from heat, and let it sit for 12-15 minutes.
- 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.
- Prepare the Filling:
- Peel the eggs and slice them in half lengthwise. Remove the yolks and place them in a mixing bowl.
- Mash the yolks with a fork and mix in mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, apple cider vinegar, salt, and pepper until smooth.
- Fill the Egg Whites:
- Spoon or pipe the yolk mixture back into the egg whites.
- Garnish:
- Sprinkle with paprika and garnish with fresh chives or parsley if desired.
- Serve:
- Chill in the refrigerator for at least 15 minutes before serving. Enjoy your deviled eggs!
