Ingredients

1 tsp Dijon mustard or yellow mustard
1 tsp apple cider vinegar
salt and black pepper to taste
paprika for garnish

US Customary - Metric

Instructions

Place eggs in a single layer in a large pot and cover with water. Place the pot on the stove, cover the pot and bring water with the egg to a boil. Remove from heat and leave covered for 12-15 minutes (depending on the size of the eggs).
Meanwhile, fill a large bowl with very cold water. If you prefer, add some ice in it. Set aside. After 15 minutes, remove the eggs from the hot water and place in the bowl with cold water.
When the eggs are cool, peel and slice them in half lengthwise. Gently scoop out the center yolk and place them in a small bowl. Place the egg whites on a plate.
Mash yolks with a fork and add mayo, apple cider vinegar, mustard, salt and pepper.
Mix all well to combine.
Using a spoon or a small cookie scoop or a piping bag, add a portion of the deviled egg mixture back into the hole of each egg white. Sprinkle on paprika for garnish.

Notes

Make sure to set a timer as you don't want the egg yolks to be too dry and get a green ring on them.
It's super easy to peel the eggs under running water as it helps the shells slide off.
For a smoother filling, you can puree the egg yolks in a food processor.
To store: If you have leftovers, store them in the fridge. You can repurpose them for an egg salad.
