Creamy Deviled Eggs Recipe

Ingredients:

6 large eggs
1/4 cup mayonnaise
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1/2 teaspoon white vinegar
Salt and pepper to taste
Paprika, for garnish
Chopped fresh chives or parsley, for garnish (optional)

Instructions:

Place the eggs in a single layer in a saucepan and cover with water. Bring the water to a boil over medium-high heat. Once boiling, remove the saucepan from the heat, cover, and let the eggs sit for 10-12 minutes.
While the eggs are cooking, prepare a bowl of ice water.
After the eggs are done, transfer them to the bowl of ice water to cool for about 5 minutes.
Gently tap each egg on a hard surface to crack the shell, then roll it between your hands to loosen it up. Peel the eggs under running water to help remove any remaining shell.
Once peeled, slice each egg in half lengthwise. Carefully remove the yolks and place them in a mixing bowl.
Mash the egg yolks with a fork until they are finely crumbled.
Add the mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, white vinegar, salt, and pepper to the mashed yolks. Stir until well combined and smooth.
Optional: For an extra creamy texture, pass the yolk mixture through a fine-mesh sieve.
Spoon or pipe the yolk mixture into the hollowed-out egg whites.
Sprinkle paprika over the filled eggs for color and flavor.
Garnish with chopped fresh chives or parsley if desired.
Chill the deviled eggs in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving.

Enjoy your creamy and delicious deviled eggs!
