Ingredients:

- 1/4 cup mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1-2 tablespoons prepared horseradish (adjust to taste)
- 1 teaspoon white vinegar
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Paprika for garnish
- Fresh chives or dill for garnish (optional)
Instructions:
- Cook the Eggs:
- Place the eggs in a single layer in a saucepan and cover them with cold water. Bring the water to a boil over medium-high heat. Once boiling, remove the pan from the heat, cover, and let the eggs sit for 10-12 minutes. After cooking, transfer the eggs to an ice bath to cool completely.
- Peel and Halve the Eggs:
- Once the eggs are cooled, peel them and slice each egg in half lengthwise. Carefully remove the yolks and place them in a mixing bowl. Arrange the egg whites on a serving platter.
- Prepare the Filling:
- Mash the yolks with a fork until smooth. Add the mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, horseradish, white vinegar, salt, and pepper. Mix until the filling is creamy and well combined. Taste and adjust the seasoning or add more horseradish if you prefer a spicier filling.
- Fill the Egg Whites:
- Spoon or pipe the yolk mixture into the hollowed-out egg whites. Be generous with the filling, making sure each egg half is nicely filled.
- Garnish and Serve:
- Sprinkle the filled eggs with paprika for a touch of color. Garnish with chopped fresh chives or dill if desired.
