Ingredients
  

6 large eggs

3 tablespoons mayonnaise

1 teaspoon Dijon mustard

1 teaspoon white vinegar

1/4 teaspoon paprika (plus extra for garnish)

Salt and pepper to taste

Fresh parsley or dill for garnish (optional)

Instructions
 

Hard-Boil the Eggs: Place the eggs in a single layer in a saucepan. Cover with water, bring to a boil over medium heat. Once boiling, cover the pan and remove it from heat. Let the eggs sit in hot water for 12-14 minutes.

    Cool the Eggs: After the time is up, transfer the eggs to a bowl of ice water to cool for at least 5 minutes. This will make peeling easier.

      Peel and Prepare: Gently tap the eggs on a hard surface and roll them to crack the shell. Peel the shells under running water to help remove them. Slice each egg in half lengthwise.

        Make the Filling: In a bowl, remove the yolks and place them in a mixing bowl. Mash the yolks with a fork until crumbly. Add mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, white vinegar, paprika, salt, and pepper. Mix until smooth and creamy.

          Fill the Eggs: Spoon the yolk mixture back into the egg white halves. For a more elegant look, you can use a piping bag to fill them neatly.

            Garnish: Lightly sprinkle the filled eggs with paprika and garnish with fresh parsley or dill if desired.

              Serve: The deviled eggs can be served immediately or refrigerated for an hour to meld the flavors.
