Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Boil the Eggs

    Place the eggs in a single layer in a saucepan and cover them with water. Bring the water to a rolling boil over medium-high heat.

  2. 2

    Cook the Eggs

    Once boiling, remove the saucepan from heat, cover, and let sit for 12 minutes.

  3. 3

    Cool and Peel the Eggs

    After 12 minutes, transfer the eggs to a bowl of ice water for 5 minutes. Once cooled, gently tap each egg on a hard surface to crack the shell and peel it under running water.

Making the Filling

  1. 4

    Prepare the Egg Yolks

    Cut each egg in half lengthwise and carefully remove the yolks. Place the yolks in a mixing bowl and set the egg whites aside.

  2. 5

    Mix the Filling

    Add mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, apple cider vinegar, salt, black pepper, smoked paprika, and chopped chives to the egg yolks. Mash with a fork until smooth and fully combined. Adjust seasoning and add Sriracha sauce to taste.

Assembly

  1. 6

    Fill the Egg Whites

    Using a spoon or a piping bag, fill each egg white half with the yolk mixture, mounding it slightly.

  2. 7

    Garnish the Deviled Eggs

    Sprinkle the filled eggs with smoked paprika and garnish with chopped chives.
