Ingredients
  

  • 6 eggs
  • ¼ cup mayonnaise use a good one – it makes a difference!
  • ½ teaspoon white vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • ½ teaspoon salt and a crack of black pepper
  • Sweet paprika for that little sprinkle on top
  • Chopped parsley to garnish makes them look a bit bougie, in the best way
  • Optional bonus twist: A spoonful of finely diced pickles I haven’t tried it yet, but it’s a game changer

Instructions
 

  • Boil your eggs – Pop the eggs in a saucepan, cover with cold water and bring to the boil. Once they’re bubbling away, set a timer for 10 minutes.
  • When the time’s up, carefully drain and pop the eggs straight into an ice bath (just a bowl of water with ice cubes). This stops them from cooking and makes peeling them so much easier.
  • Peel the eggs and slice them in half lengthways. Scoop out the yolks gently. I use a teaspoon and take my time so the whites don’t tear.
  • In a bowl, mash the yolks together with the mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, vinegar, and a good pinch of salt and pepper. Mash it until it’s smooth and creamy. Taste and tweak if needed!
  • Now, spoon or pipe the mixture back into the egg whites. If you’re feeling fancy, use a piping bag (or a ziplock bag with the corner snipped off). If not, a spoon works perfectly fine!
  • Sprinkle with paprika and chopped parsley. Serve them up and watch them disappear!
