  • 1 tablespoon white vinegar
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • Paprika, for garnish
  • Chopped parsley (or chives), for garnish


Instructions

Step 1: Boil the Eggs

  1. Place the eggs in a saucepan and fill it with water, making sure the eggs are covered by at least an inch of water.
  2. Bring the water to a rolling boil over medium-high heat. Once it’s boiling, reduce the heat and let the eggs simmer for 10-12 minutes.
  3. After the eggs are cooked, transfer them to a bowl of ice water or run them under cold water to cool for about 5 minutes.

Step 2: Peel and Slice the Eggs

  1. Peel the eggs carefully, then slice them in half lengthwise.
  2. Gently remove the yolks from the egg whites and place them in a medium-sized bowl. Set the whites aside on a platter.

Step 3: Prepare the Filling

  1. Mash the egg yolks with a fork until smooth.
  2. Add the mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, and white vinegar to the mashed yolks. Stir until the mixture is creamy and well-combined.
  3. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Adjust the seasonings to your preference.

Step 4: Fill the Egg Whites

  1. Spoon the creamy yolk mixture back into the hollowed-out egg whites. For a neater presentation, you can use a piping bag to fill the eggs.
  2. Sprinkle a pinch of paprika on top of each deviled egg to add color and a hint of smoky flavor. Garnish with a little chopped parsley or chives for freshness.

Step 5: Serve and Enjoy

  1. Arrange your deviled eggs on a serving platter. Serve them immediately or refrigerate until ready to serve.
