Deviled Eggs

Ingredients:
– 6 large eggs
– 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
– 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
– 1/2 teaspoon white vinegar
– 1/4 teaspoon salt
– 1/8 teaspoon black pepper
– Paprika, for garnish
– Chopped fresh chives, for garnish

Instructions:
1. Start by boiling the eggs: Place the eggs in a single layer in a saucepan and cover them with water. Bring the water to a boil over high heat, then reduce the heat to low and let the eggs simmer for 10 minutes.
2. After 10 minutes, remove the eggs from the heat and transfer them to a bowl of ice water to cool down quickly. Let them sit in the ice water for about 5 minutes.
3. Once the eggs are cool, gently tap each egg on the counter to crack the shell, then peel off the shell under running water to help remove any small pieces of shell.
4. Cut the peeled eggs in half lengthwise and carefully remove the yolks, placing them in a separate bowl. Arrange the egg white halves on a serving platter.
5. Mash the yolks with a fork until they are smooth and crumbly. Add the mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, white vinegar, salt, and pepper to the yolks, and mix everything together until well combined and creamy.
6. Using a spoon or a piping bag, fill each egg white half with the yolk mixture, dividing it evenly among all the eggs.
7. Sprinkle paprika over the filled eggs for a pop of color and added flavor. You can also garnish with chopped fresh chives for a touch of freshness.
8. Chill the deviled eggs in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld together and the eggs to set.
9. Once chilled, serve the deviled eggs on a platter and watch them disappear within minutes!
