Print Recipe
Ingredients
- 4 hard-boiled eggs
- 2 Tablespoons mayonnaise
- ½ teaspoon dijon mustard
- 1 dash salt
- 1 dash ground paprika (plus extra for sprinkling, optional)
Instructions
- Cut hard-boiled eggs in half lengthwise. Slip out yolks into a small bowl.
- Thoroughly mash yolks with a fork. Mix in remaining ingredients.
- Transfer yolk mixture to a baggie or piping bag with the tip cut off (or use a star tip for a fancy presentation). Pipe filling into egg halves, heaping up slightly.
- Sprinkle eggs with paprika if desired.
- Keep well-covered in the refrigerator for 3-5 days.
Notes
- If doubling or tripling the recipe, the filling can be made in a food processor. This will whip up the filling slightly, so add more to each egg half than if you mashed by hand.
