$- 6 large eggs - 3 tablespoons mayonnaise - 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard - 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar - Salt and pepper to taste - 1/4 teaspoon smoked paprika (plus extra for garnish) - Fresh chives or parsley for garnish When measuring ingredients, use a standard measuring spoon. Level off each spoonful for accuracy. For the mayonnaise, a heaping spoon is fine if you like a creamier filling. If you prefer a tangier taste, add a splash more of apple cider vinegar.

Place them in a pot and cover with cold water. Turn the heat to medium-high and bring the water to a boil. Once boiling, cover the pot and remove it from the heat. Let the eggs sit for 12 minutes. This process helps cook the eggs evenly. After 12 minutes, move the eggs to a bowl of ice water. Let them cool for about 5 minutes. This step makes peeling easier. When you peel the eggs, do it under running water. This method helps remove the shell without damaging the egg. Pat the eggs dry with a paper towel. Next, slice the eggs in half lengthwise. Gently scoop out the yolks into a mixing bowl. Add three tablespoons of mayonnaise to the yolks. Then, mix in one teaspoon of Dijon mustard and one teaspoon of apple cider vinegar. Season with salt and pepper to taste. To add some flair, sprinkle in 1/4 teaspoon of smoked paprika. Use a fork to mash everything together. Keep mixing until the filling is smooth and creamy. This step is key for great flavor and texture. Now it’s time to fill the egg whites. Use a spoon or a piping bag to add the yolk mixture. Make sure to fill each egg half generously. This makes them look nice and appetizing. For the final touch, sprinkle a little extra smoked paprika on top. Chop fresh chives or parsley for garnish. This adds color and freshness.

A pinch of salt and pepper will enhance the flavors. For a creamy filling, use good-quality mayonnaise. I recommend about 3 tablespoons for six eggs.
