Bring to a full boil over medium-high heat, then cover, remove from heat, and let sit for 12 minutes.\n2. **Ice bath** — Transfer eggs immediately to a bowl of ice water. Cool for at least 10 minutes to stop cooking and make peeling easier.\n3. **Peel and halve** — Peel eggs under cold running water. Slice each in half lengthwise; pop yolks into a bowl and arrange whites on a serving platter.\n4. **Make the filling** — Mash yolks until fine and crumbly. Add mayonnaise, Dijon, vinegar, hot sauce, salt, and pepper. Mix until very smooth and creamy. Taste and adjust seasoning.\n5. **Fill and garnish** — Spoon or pipe filling into the egg white halves. Dust with paprika and sprinkle with chives or parsley.\n\n## Notes\n\n- For extra-smooth filling, press yolks through a fine mesh sieve before mixing.\n- A piping bag (or zip-lock with corner snipped) gives a cleaner result than a spoon.\n- **Spice it up:** Add a pinch of cayenne to the filling or top with pickled jalapeño slices for a bolder kick.\n- **Make ahead:** Fill up to 24 hours in advance and refrigerate covered. Add garnishes just before serving.","draft":false,"servings":"12 halves (6 eggs)","prep_time":"15 min","cook_time":"12 min","total_time":"40 min","created_at":"2026-07-01T22:38:29.631983Z","tags":["Appetizer","Eggs","make-ahead","party"],"methods":["boiling"],"ingredients":[{"section":"","items":["6 large eggs","3 tbsp mayonnaise","1 tsp Dijon mustard","1 tsp apple cider vinegar","1/2 tsp hot sauce (e.g. Tabasco)","1/4 tsp salt","1/4 tsp freshly ground black pepper","1/2 tsp paprika (smoked or sweet), for garnish","1 tbsp fresh chives or parsley, finely chopped, for garnish"],"parsed":[{"raw":"6 large eggs","qty":6,"item":"large eggs"},{"raw":"3 tbsp mayonnaise","qty":3,"unit":"tbsp","item":"mayonnaise"},{"raw":"1 tsp Dijon mustard","qty":1,"unit":"tsp","item":"Dijon mustard"},{"raw":"1 tsp apple cider vinegar","qty":1,"unit":"tsp","item":"apple cider vinegar"},{"raw":"1/2 tsp hot sauce (e.g. Tabasco)","qty":0.5,"unit":"tsp","item":"hot sauce"},{"raw":"1/4 tsp salt","qty":0.25,"unit":"tsp","item":"salt"},{"raw":"1/4 tsp freshly ground black pepper","qty":0.25,"unit":"tsp","item":"freshly ground black pepper"},{"raw":"1/2 tsp paprika (smoked or sweet), for garnish","qty":0.5,"unit":"tsp","item":"paprika","prep":"for garnish"},{"raw":"1 tbsp fresh chives or parsley, finely chopped, for garnish","qty":1,"unit":"tbsp","item":"fresh chives or parsley","prep":"finely chopped, for garnish"}]}],"qc":{"status":"passed","last_checked_at":"2026-07-30T01:57:20.308625Z","checked_by":"claude-code","standard_version":"2026-07-29","findings_count":0,"stale":false}}
