1
Boil the Eggs
Place the eggs in a single layer in a saucepan and cover them with cold water, about an inch above the eggs. Bring the water to a boil over medium-high heat.
2
Simmer and Cool
Once the water reaches a boil, cover the saucepan and remove it from the heat. Let the eggs sit in the hot water for 12 minutes. After 12 minutes, transfer the eggs to a bowl of ice water to cool for about 5-10 minutes.
3
Peel the Eggs
Once cooled, gently tap the eggs on a hard surface and peel them under running water to help remove the shells easily.

4
Prepare the Filling
Cut the peeled eggs in half lengthwise and carefully remove the yolks. Place the yolks in a medium bowl and mash them with a fork.
5
Mix Ingredients
Add the mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, white vinegar, salt, and black pepper to the mashed yolks. Mix until smooth and creamy.

6
Fill the Egg Whites
Spoon or pipe the yolk mixture back into the hollowed-out egg whites.
7
Garnish
Sprinkle paprika over the filled eggs for a classic look. Optionally, chop chives or parsley and sprinkle on top for added flavor and color.
