Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 6 pieces hard-boiled eggs Use fresh eggs for the best results!
  • 3 tablespoons mayonnaise Regular mayonnaise works best for creaminess.
  • 1 teaspoon mustard Dijon mustard adds a nice tang.
  • to taste Salt Adjust to personal preference.
  • to taste Pepper Adjust to personal preference.
  • as needed Paprika For garnish.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Hard-Boil the Eggs: Place the eggs in a pot and cover them with water. Heat on high until boiling, then cover and remove from heat. Let sit for 12 minutes. Rinse the eggs under cold water to stop the cooking process.
  2. Peel the Eggs: Once cooled, gently tap the eggs on a hard surface and roll them to break the shell. Peel under running water for easier removal.
  3. Prepare the Filling: Slice the peeled eggs in half lengthways. Gently remove the yolks and place them in a bowl. Add the mayonnaise, mustard, salt, and pepper to the yolks. Mash together until creamy and smooth.
  4. Fill the Egg Whites: Spoon or pipe the yolk mixture back into the hollow egg whites. For an elegant touch, you can use a piping bag.
  5. Garnish: Sprinkle paprika on top of each filled egg for that traditional finish.
  6. Serve and Enjoy: Enjoy these as a delightful snack or appetizer!

Notes

Top tips: For a lighter option, try Greek yogurt instead of mayonnaise. To avoid greenish yolks, do not overcook the eggs. Store in an airtight container if making a day ahead, and fill just before serving for best texture.
