  4. Mix Ingredients: In the bowl with the yolks, add mayonnaise, mustard, paprika, salt, and pepper. Mash together until smooth and creamy.
  5. Fill the Egg Whites: Fill the egg white halves with your yolk mixture. Optionally, sprinkle a little extra paprika on top for color.

  7. Chill and Serve: Place the deviled eggs in the refrigerator until you're ready to serve.

Notes

For an extra creamy filling, you can add a dollop of Greek yogurt. Make sure not to overboil the eggs to maintain a creamy texture. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
