Ingredients:
- 6 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 1 teaspoon yellow mustard
- 1 teaspoon white vinegar
- Salt and pepper to taste

- Fresh chives or parsley for garnish (optional)
Instructions:
- Boil the Eggs:
- Place the eggs in a single layer in a saucepan and cover them with cold water, about an inch above the eggs.

- Peel the Eggs:
- Gently tap the eggs on a hard surface and peel under running cold water for easier peeling.

- Slice the eggs in half lengthwise. Carefully remove the yolks and place them in a mixing bowl.
- Mash the yolks with a fork until they are smooth.
- Add mayonnaise, mustard, vinegar, salt, and pepper to the yolks. Mix until well combined and smooth.
- Fill the Eggs:
- Spoon or pipe the yolk mixture back into the egg whites. You can use a piping bag with a star tip for a fancier presentation.
- Garnish and Serve:
- Lightly sprinkle paprika over the filled eggs for a bit of color.
- Garnish with chopped chives or parsley if desired.
- Chill:
- Refrigerate the deviled eggs for at least 15 minutes before serving. Enjoy!
