Step-by-Step Instructions
- Begin by hard boiling the eggs. Place the 6 large eggs in a medium saucepan and cover them with water, ensuring the water level is about an inch above the eggs. Bring to boil over medium-high heat, about 7-10 minutes.
- Once boiling, cover with a lid and remove from heat. Allow the eggs to sit in hot water for 12 minutes.
- Carefully transfer the eggs to a bowl filled with ice water using a slotted spoon. Let them cool for at least 5 minutes.
- Gently tap each egg on a hard surface to crack the shell, then peel them under cold running water.
- Slice the peeled eggs in half lengthwise and scoop out the yolks into a mixing bowl.
- Mash the yolks with a fork and mix in mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, white vinegar, salt, and black pepper until creamy and smooth.
- Fold in chopped chives, red bell pepper, and parsley into the yolk mixture. Adjust seasoning if necessary.
- Using a spoon or piping bag, fill each egg white half with the yolk mixture.
- Sprinkle smoked paprika on top of each deviled egg.
- Garnish with small sprigs of dill or parsley if desired. Serve immediately or refrigerate until ready to serve.
