Instructions
- Boil the Eggs:
- Place your eggs in a saucepan and cover them with cold water; bring to a rolling boil. Cover the saucepan, remove it from heat, and let them sit for 10 minutes for perfectly cooked yolks.
- Cool and Peel:
- Once the time is up, drain the hot water and cool the eggs under cold running water until they’re manageable. Carefully peel each egg, and don’t fret if a few bits stick – it’s all part of the adventure!
- Prepare the Filling:
- Slice the eggs in half lengthwise and scoop the cooked yolks into a medium bowl. Mash the yolks with a fork, then add mayonnaise, mustard, relish, vinegar, salt, and pepper, mixing until smooth and creamy.
- Fill the Eggs:
- Spoon or use a piping bag to fill the egg white halves generously with the yolk mixture. Make sure to be indulgent; the more, the merrier!
- Garnish:
- Sprinkle your filled eggs with a dash of paprika and add chives for a pop of color. The presentation is just as important as the taste!
