Method
Boil & Ice Bath
- Place six eggs into a medium saucepan. Add two teaspoons of salt, two teaspoons of vinegar, and cold water covering eggs by two inches. Bring to a rolling boil over high heat, then cook for exactly seven minutes.
- Transfer hot eggs with a slotted spoon directly into an ice water bath. Let them chill for ten minutes to stop internal cooking and loosen outer shells.
Peel & Slice
- Gently tap eggs on your counter and peel shells under cool running water. Slice each egg in half lengthwise with a sharp knife and pop yolks into a mixing bowl.
Blend & Pipe Filling
- Mash yolks with mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, one teaspoon of vinegar, salt, and black pepper. Press mixture through a fine mesh sieve for a lump-free texture.
- Spoon silky filling into a piping bag with an open star tip. Pipe swirls into egg white halves and garnish with a dusting of paprika and black pepper. Serve chilled.
Notes
Always use week-old eggs from your refrigerator for clean peeling. Passing mashed yolks through a fine mesh sieve guarantees silky smooth filling that never clogs piping tips.
