Ingredients

  • 6 large eggs
  • 3 tablespoons mayonnaise
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Paprika for garnish

Instructions

Boil the eggs

  • Bring a pot of water to a boil.
  • Reduce the heat to low (or turn it off briefly) to stop bubbling. Carefully place the eggs in the water using a skimmer or spoon.
  • Increase the heat back to high and boil for 14 minutes.

Cool the eggs

  • Prepare an ice water bath in a large bowl.
  • After 14 minutes, transfer the eggs to the ice bath and let them cool completely.

Peel and slice

  • Once cooled, peel the eggs and slice them in half lengthwise.
  • Use a spoon to remove the yolks and place them in a small bowl. Arrange the egg whites on a serving plate.

Make the filling

  • Mash the yolks with a fork.
  • Add mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, apple cider vinegar, salt, and pepper. Stir until smooth.

Fill and garnish

  • Spoon or pipe the yolk mixture back into the egg white halves.
  • Sprinkle with paprika for a finishing touch.

Notes

For extra smooth filling: Blend the yolk mixture in a food processor.
Storage: Keep deviled eggs covered in the fridge for up to 2 days.
Variations: Try adding crumbled bacon, chives, or a dash of hot sauce for extra flavor!
