Ingredients
- 6 large eggs
- 3 tablespoons mayonnaise (avocado oil or olive oil based)
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon yellow mustard
- 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
- 1/4 teaspoon fine sea salt
- 1/8 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon smoked paprika, plus more for garnish
- 1 tablespoon fresh chives, finely chopped (optional)
Instructions
- 1
Place the eggs in a single layer in a saucepan and cover with cold water by about 1 inch. Bring to a rolling boil over high heat, then cover, remove from heat, and let sit for 12 minutes.
- 2
Transfer the eggs to a bowl of ice water and let cool for 5 minutes. Peel under cool running water for cleaner shells.
- 3
Slice each egg in half lengthwise. Gently pop out the yolks into a medium bowl and arrange the whites on a serving plate.
- 4
Mash the yolks with a fork until crumbly, then add the mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, yellow mustard, apple cider vinegar, salt, pepper, and smoked paprika. Stir until smooth and creamy.
- 5
Spoon or pipe the yolk filling back into the egg white halves, mounding it slightly.
- 6
Dust with extra smoked paprika and sprinkle with chopped chives. Serve chilled.
Tips & notes
- For an extra-smooth filling, press the yolks through a fine-mesh sieve or blend the filling with an immersion blender before piping.
- Add a pinch of cayenne or a few drops of hot sauce to the filling for a spicy kick, or fold in crumbled crispy bacon for a heartier bite.
- Store covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. For meal prep, keep the filling and whites separate and assemble just before serving.
