  • 1 teaspoon vinegar White or apple cider vinegar

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Begin by hard boiling the eggs. Place eggs in a pot, cover with cold water, and bring to a rolling boil.
  2. Remove from heat and cover, letting them sit for about 12-15 minutes.
  3. Transfer the eggs to an ice bath to halt cooking and facilitate peeling.
  4. After cooling, carefully peel the eggs, ensuring no shell fragments remain.
  5. Slice each egg in half lengthwise and gently remove the yolks, placing them in a mixing bowl.
Mixing and Assembling
  1. Mash the egg yolks with a fork until crumbly.
  2. Mix in mayonnaise, mustard, vinegar, salt, and pepper to taste.
  3. Stir until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
Cooking and Finishing
  1. Use a piping bag or a small spoon to carefully fill the hollowed egg whites.
  2. Sprinkle with paprika or top with a sprig of dill for presentation.
  3. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow flavors to meld.

Notes

Deviled eggs can be made ahead of time for convenience but are best served fresh. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to two days.
