Ingredients

  • 6 eggs
  • 2 1/2 tablespoons mayonnaise
  • 2 teaspoons mustard
  • 1 tablespoon white wine vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon chopped chives
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon pepper

Instructions

  • In a large saucepan, bring some water to a boil. Once it starts boiling, gently add the eggs. Turn off the heat and cover the saucepan with a lid. Let the eggs stand in the water for around 12 minutes.
  • In the meantime, prepare a large bowl with ice cold water. Once the eggs are ready, add them to the iced water for about 15 minutes. Peel the eggs carefully.
  • Halve each egg lengthways, remove the yolk and set aside in a bowl. Place the halved emptied egg whites on a plate.
  • Smash the egg yolks finely with a fork, this will avoid leaving lumps in your mixture. To the bowl with the yolks, add all the ingredients together. Mash and combine everything together until you have a creamy consistency.
  • Place the yolk mixture in a piping bag. Fill each hollowed egg white with the yolk mixture.
  • Decorate with paprika, caviar, herbs, capers or anything you fancy.
