  4. 4

    Mash the yolks thoroughly with a fork and combine with mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, white vinegar, salt, and black pepper. Mix until silky smooth.

  5. 5

    If you want a colorful touch, divide yolk filling among bowls and add a drop of food coloring to each. Fill egg whites evenly with the yolk mixture, sprinkle paprika on top, and chill before serving.

Personalized Q&A
