Start by boiling the eggs. Place them in a pot and cover them with water. Bring to a boil, then remove from heat and let them sit for 12 minutes. Transfer the eggs to a bowl of cold water to cool.

Once the eggs have cooled, gently peel them. Then, slice each egg in half lengthwise and carefully remove the yolks.

In a mixing bowl, mash the yolks with mayonnaise, mustard, salt, and pepper until the mixture is smooth and creamy.

Spoon or pipe the yolk mixture back into the egg whites.

Sprinkle with paprika and any additional toppings you desire.

Arrange the deviled eggs on a platter and serve chilled.
