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:

  1. 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.
  2. Halve eggs lengthwise.
  3. Spoon out yolks into a small bowl and place whites on a serving platter.
  4. Using a fork, mash yolks, then stir in mayonnaise, lemon juice, and Dijon, and season with salt and pepper.
  5. Spoon mixture evenly among egg whites and smooth top.
  6. Carefully dust paprika all over yolk mixture, completely covering yolk.
  7. Use a sharp paring knife to make ridges down the paprika-dusted yolk to look like a pumpkin.
  8. Place chive above egg mixture to look like a stem.
  9. Enjoy!
