– 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
– 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
– 1 teaspoon white vinegar
– 1/4 teaspoon salt

– Chopped fresh chives, for garnish
Instructions:
1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a muffin tin or baking dish.
2. Place the eggs in a saucepan and cover them with water. Bring the water to a boil over medium-high heat, then remove the pan from the heat, cover it with a lid, and let the eggs sit for 10-12 minutes.
3. Once the eggs are cooked, transfer them to a bowl of ice water to cool. This will make them easier to peel.
4. Peel the eggs and slice them in half lengthwise. Carefully remove the yolks and place them in a separate bowl.
5. Mash the egg yolks with a fork until they are smooth. Add the mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, white vinegar, salt, pepper, and paprika to the bowl. Mix everything together until well combined.
6. Spoon the yolk mixture back into the egg white halves, filling each one generously.
7. Place the filled egg halves in the prepared muffin tin or baking dish.
8. Bake the deviled eggs in the preheated oven for about 10-12 minutes, or until the filling is slightly set.
9. Remove the eggs from the oven and let them cool slightly before serving.
10. Garnish the Baked Deviled Eggs with chopped fresh chives for a pop of color and added freshness.
