Ingredients
  

  • 12 large eggs
  • ⅓ cup mayonnaise
  • 1 ½ tsp Dijon mustard
  • 1 tsp white vinegar or apple cider vinegar
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • ½ tsp smoked paprika (plus extra for garnish)
  • 2 tbsp finely chopped fresh chives

Instructions
 

  • Boil the Eggs : Place eggs in a single layer in a saucepan and cover with cold water by 1 inch. Bring water to a rolling boil over medium-high heat. Once boiling, cover the pan and remove from heat. Let eggs sit for 12 minutes. Drain and transfer eggs to a bowl of ice water to cool for 5–10 minutes.
  • Prepare the Yolks : Peel the cooled eggs and slice each egg in half lengthwise. Carefully remove yolks and place in a medium bowl.
  • Make the Filling : Mash yolks with a fork until smooth. Add mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, vinegar, salt, pepper, and smoked paprika. Mix until creamy and well combined.
  • Assemble the Deviled Eggs : Spoon or pipe yolk mixture into each egg white half. Sprinkle lightly with additional smoked paprika and garnish with chopped chives.
