Ingredients
- 12 Eggs, hard boiled
- 0.5 cups Mayonnaise
- 0.5 Lemon juice, juice of 1/2 lemon
- 1 1/2 teaspoon Mustard, Dijon
- 1 teaspoon Sea Salt, to taste
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper, ground, to taste
- 2 tablespoon Paprika, Smoked
- 4 Chives
Instructions
Directions:
- Hard boil one dozen eggs. I have found the most fool proof method to hard boil eggs is to place the eggs into a saucepan with just enough water to cover. Turn the burner on high. Once it reaches a boil, turn the heat off, and place a lid on the saucepan for approximately 7 minutes. Drain the water, rinse the eggs, and peel.
- Halve eggs lengthwise.
- Spoon out yolks into a small bowl and place whites on a serving platter.
- Using a fork, mash yolks, then stir in mayonnaise, lemon juice, and Dijon, and season with salt and pepper.
- Spoon mixture evenly among egg whites and smooth top.
- Carefully dust paprika all over yolk mixture, completely covering yolk.
- Use a sharp paring knife to make ridges down the paprika-dusted yolk to look like a pumpkin.
- Place chive above egg mixture to look like a stem.
- Enjoy!
