**Easy Deviled Eggs Without Mustard**
**Ingredients:**
– 6 large eggs
– 3 tablespoons mayonnaise
– 1 tablespoon pickle juice
– 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
– Salt and pepper, to taste
– Paprika, for garnish
– Fresh chives, chopped, for garnish
**Instructions:**
1. First, place the eggs in a saucepan and cover them with water. Bring the water to a boil over high heat. Once boiling, remove the saucepan from the heat, cover it with a lid, and let the eggs sit in the hot water for 12 minutes.
2. After the eggs have cooked, carefully transfer them to a bowl of ice water to cool rapidly. This step will make peeling the eggs easier later on.
3. Once the eggs have cooled, peel them under running water to help remove the shells cleanly without damaging the whites.
4. Cut each egg in half lengthwise and gently remove the yolks, placing them in a separate bowl. Set the egg white halves aside on a serving platter.
5. Mash the egg yolks with a fork until they are finely crumbled.
6. To the mashed yolks, add the mayonnaise, pickle juice, Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper. Combine the ingredients well until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
7. Taste the yolk mixture and adjust the seasoning if needed to suit your preferences.
8. Using a small spoon or a piping bag, evenly distribute the yolk mixture back into the hollows of the egg white halves.
9. Sprinkle a pinch of paprika over the filled eggs for a pop of color and flavor.
10. For a finishing touch, garnish each deviled egg with a sprinkle of freshly chopped chives.
11. Chill the deviled eggs in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld and the eggs to set.
12. Arrange the chilled deviled eggs on a serving platter and watch them disappear as your guests enjoy this delicious twist on a classic appetizer.
