Ingredients
- 6 large eggs
- 3 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon white vinegar
- 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika, plus more for garnish
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh chives or parsley for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Boil the Eggs: Place the eggs in a saucepan and cover them with cold water. Bring to a boil over medium heat. Once boiling, cover the pot, remove it from heat, and let it sit for about 12 minutes.
- Cool and Peel: After 12 minutes, transfer the eggs to an ice bath to cool for at least 5 minutes. Peel the cooled eggs and slice them in half lengthwise.
