Instructions

Step-by-Step Instructions

Begin by bringing a pot of water to a rolling boil over high heat. Once boiling, gently reduce the heat to low or turn it off completely to avoid the water bubbling violently. Carefully lower the 6 large eggs into the pot using a slotted spoon to prevent cracking.
While your eggs are cooking, prepare an ice water bath by filling a large bowl with cold water and ice. This will help stop the cooking process and cool the eggs quickly once they’re done.
After the 14 minutes are complete, carefully use a slotted spoon to transfer the eggs from the hot water to the ice water bath. Allow them to cool for at least 10 minutes.
Once the eggs are cool, gently tap each one on a hard surface to crack the shell, then peel under running water for an even smoother experience.
Slice each peeled egg lengthwise in half, carefully removing the yolks and placing them in a mixing bowl while leaving the whites on the plate.
Using a fork, mash the yolks thoroughly until they achieve a crumbly texture. Add in mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, apple cider vinegar, kosher salt, and black pepper. Mix until smooth and creamy.
Spoon or pipe the yolk mixture back into each hollowed egg white, creating attractive swirls for visual appeal.
Sprinkle a dash of paprika over the top of each filled egg for a pop of color and serve immediately or refrigerate until ready to share.

Notes

Store leftover deviled eggs in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Prepare the filling in advance for quick assembly before serving.
