Ingredients

  • 6 eggs
  • 1 Tablespoon vinegar white or apple cider is fine
  • 1/4 cup mayo
  • 2 T yellow mustard
  • salt + pepper to taste
  • paprika for sprinkling on top

Instructions

  • Place eggs in a large empty pot. Cover with 8 cups of cold water. Add 1 Tablespoon of vinegar.
  • Turn heat to high and bring to a boil. Once it starts boiling, turn off heat and cover. Don't remove from the stove - the residual heat helps cook the eggs.
  • Cook for 13 minutes. At 12 minutes, grab a large bowl and fill with ice water. When eggs are finished cooking, remove eggs 1 or 2 at a time with a slotted spoon and place in ice water.
  • Let the eggs cool for a minute or two in the ice bath then drain. Dry off the eggs and then peel them, one by one.
  • Once peeled, slice eggs lengthwise in half. Gently scoop the yolk into a medium sized bowl and place the white egg halves onto a serving platter.
  • Using a hand mixer, stand mixer, or a whisk - mix the yolks until crumbly and not full yolks. Then, add mayo, yellow mustard, and salt and pepper. Mix until fully combined with no big clumps.
  • Place egg filling into a piping bag or plastic baggie with the tip cut off to fill the eggs. Fill each egg until filling is gone.
  • Sprinkle with paprika and enjoy! Eat immediately or place in fridge until ready to serve.
