  2. Chill the Eggs: Transfer the boiled eggs to an ice bath for 5-10 minutes to stop the cooking process.
  3. Prepare the Filling: Halve the peeled eggs lengthwise and scoop the yolks into a mixing bowl. Mash the yolks until smooth, then add ½ cup full-fat mayonnaise, 2 tbsp Dijon mustard, 1 tbsp vinegar, ½ tsp salt, and ¼ tsp black pepper. Mix until smooth and creamy.
  4. Fill the Egg Whites: Use a spoon or piping bag to fill the egg white halves with the yolk mixture.
  5. Garnish: Sprinkle with paprika and add any optional garnishes.
  6. Chill Before Serving: Place your filled deviled eggs in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.
