Ingredients

Directions

Place eggs in a saucepan and cover with cold salted water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer until hard-cooked, 10 to 12 minutes. Drain and cool in an ice bath. Once cool, peel hard boiled eggs. Slice eggs in half lengthwise and scoop out yolks.

Mash yolks with vinegar, mayonnaise, mustard, salt, and pepper until smooth. You may need to add more mayonnaise to hold the mixture together, but it should be slightly dry.

Carefully put egg yolk mixture back into egg whites but do not pack it. There will be enough mixture so the whites are overfilled. Sprinkle with paprika. Refrigerate until ready to serve.

Cook’s Note

For a lovely presentation, spoon the yolk mixture into a pastry bag fitted with a star tip, then pipe into the egg whites.

Garnish with freshly chopped parsley or chives instead of paprika, if you prefer. You can also top with crispy bacon crumbles for extra flavor.

For variation, stir in 1 teaspoon sweet pickle relish.
