1
Boil the Eggs
Place the eggs in a single layer in a saucepan and cover them with cold water. Bring the water to a boil over medium heat.
2
Simmer and Cool
Once the water reaches a boil, cover the saucepan with a lid, remove it from heat, and let it sit for 12 minutes. After 12 minutes, transfer the eggs to a bowl of ice water to cool for about 5 minutes.
3
Peel the Eggs
After cooling, gently tap each egg on a hard surface and peel off the shell. Rinse the peeled eggs under cold water to remove any bits of shell.

4
Prepare the Filling
Cut each peeled egg in half lengthwise. Carefully remove the yolks and place them in a mixing bowl. Set the egg whites aside.
5
Mix the Yolk Mixture
To the bowl with the yolks, add mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, white vinegar, salt, black pepper, and smoked paprika. Mash everything together with a fork until smooth and creamy.
6
Fill the Egg Whites
Using a spoon or a piping bag, fill each egg white half with the yolk mixture, heaping it slightly over the top.
7
Garnish and Serve
Sprinkle the filled eggs with additional smoked paprika and garnish with fresh chives or parsley. Serve immediately or refrigerate until ready to serve.
