Ingredients
- 12 egg hard boiled
- ½ cup mayonnaise
- 2 teaspoons white vinegar
- 2 teaspoons yellow mustard
- ¼ teaspoon kosher salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- smoked paprika optional
Instructions
- In a saucepan cover the eggs with cold water. The eggs should be covered by an two inches. Heat pot on high heat and bring water to full rolling boil. Turn off heat, keep pan on burning, cover and let sit for 10-12 minutes. Strain water from the pan and place eggs in ice water. Let cool 5 minutes.
- Peel shells off of eggs. Run the eggs under cool water while peeling to help the egg shell slide off easily.
- Slice the hard boiled eggs in half. Carefully scoop the yolks out and place them in a mixing bowl.
- Add the rest of the ingredients to the mixing bowl. Whisk vigorously to whip together the mixture until it's light and fluffy.
- Pipe or spoon the egg mixture back into the egg white. Sprinkle with smoked paprika.
- Store leftovers in the refrigerator or until ready to serve.

Notes
- Make deviled eggs a few hours ahead or up to two days before serving, storing filling and whites separately until ready to assemble.
- Use slightly older eggs for easier peeling and avoid a greenish yolk by not over boiling the eggs.
- Store leftovers refrigerated and consume within two days because of mayonnaise in the filling.
- For variations, add ingredients like avocado, relish, soft cheeses, bacon, heat (cayenne or jalapeño), or herbs to the filling or as garnishes.
