A classic appetizer that combines creamy yolks with mayo and mustard, topped with paprika for a delightful bite.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 large eggs
  • 3 tablespoons mayonnaise
  • 1 teaspoon mustard
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Paprika for garnish
  • Chives or parsley for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Hard boil the eggs by placing them in a pot of cold water. Bring the water to a boil over medium heat. Cover and remove from heat, letting sit for 12 minutes.
  2. Cool the eggs by plunging them into an ice water bath.
  3. Peel the eggs under running water or by tapping them on a hard surface to crack the shell.
  4. Separate the yolks by slicing the boiled eggs in half and removing the yolks into a mixing bowl.
  5. Prepare the filling by adding mayonnaise, mustard, salt, and pepper to the yolks. Mash until smooth.
  6. Fill the egg whites with the yolk mixture, using a spoon or piping bag.
  7. Garnish with paprika and optional chives or parsley before serving.

Notes

For perfectly cooked eggs, consider using older eggs for easier peeling. Feel free to experiment with different flavors in the filling.
