Equipment

  • medium pot
  • knife
  • small bowl
  • slotted spoon

Ingredients

  • 10-12 eggs
  • ΒΌ cup mayonnaise
  • 2 tbsp dijon mustard
  • juice form half a lemon
  • heavy pinch of salt
  • heavy pinch of paprika
  • chopped dill for serving

Instructions

  • Fill a medium pot with a few inches of water, just enough to cover the eggs once placed in the pot. Place the pot on high heat and bring the water to a boil. Once boiling, only let the water boil for 1 full minute, and then remove the pot from the heat. Covered, let the pot sit for 12 minutes, and then carefully remove all the eggs with a slotted spoon. Place the eggs into an ice bath or a cold bowl of water.
  • While they cool, make the mixture. Stir together the dijon mustard, mayonnaise, paprika, lemon juice and salt in a bowl.
  • Peel the egg shells off all of the eggs, and then cut each egg in half. Carefully remove the yellow parts, either with a spoon or with your fingers. Place the yellows into the mayo mixture, and mash it all together with a fork or spoon.
  • Fill all the empty egg white halves with a large spoonful of the yellow mixture, careful to not let them spill over. Garnish with a dusting of paprika and chopped dill.
