Ingredients
Scale
- 6 large eggs
- 3 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Paprika for garnish
Instructions
- Boil the eggs in a pot of cold water until water reaches a full boil, cooking them for 9-12 minutes depending on yolk firmness.
- Cool the eggs in a bowl of cold water to stop cooking and make peeling easier.
- Peel the eggs under running water to help remove the shells, then slice each egg in half lengthwise.

- Create the filling by mashing yolks with mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper until smooth.
- Fill the egg white halves with the yolk mixture, piping for a professional look if desired.
- Garnish the eggs with a sprinkle of paprika for added color and flavor.
- Serve chilled for about 30 minutes to allow flavors to meld before enjoying.
Notes
Adjust seasoning and add herbs or bacon for variations. Maintain boil time to avoid greenish yolks.
