Hard boil the eggs: Carefully place the eggs in a pot and cover them with cold water. Then place this pot over high heat and bring it to a boil. Let it boil for 8 minutes, and then turn off the heat and let the eggs sit in the hot water for an additional 2 minutes. Once you’ve done that use a slotted spoon to transfer the eggs to a bowl filled with cold water so that they stop cooking and cool down enough to peel. You can also throw in a couple of ice cubes to speed up the process.

Prep the eggs: First we need to peel each egg. Begin by lightly tapping an egg on a hard surface so that he shell cracks a little. Then use your fingers to remove the craked part and continue until all the shell is removed. Once all of the eggs have been peeled we next need to cut them in half lengthwise. Finally, we need to use a spoon to remove the yolk from each egg half and transfer the yolk to a bowl.

Mix together the filling: Use a fork to mash the egg yolks. Then add the mayonnaise, dijon mustard, and apple cider vinegar to the same bowl and mix until all ingredients are incorporated together.

Finish the deviled eggs: While you can use a spoon to place the filling into the crevice of the egg whites I prefer to pipe it in with a plastic bag. To do this simply place the filling in a plastic bag. Then use some scissors to cut off one of the tips of the bag. Then squeeze the bag so that the filling pipes through. Once that’s done you have the option of sprinkling some smoked paprika and minced chives over each egg.

Serve the deviled eggs immediately and enjoy!
