    Instructions

    Step #1: Hard Boiled

    Fill saucepan half way with water. Carefully place eggs in water, making sure there’s at least an inch of water above eggs. Heat on high until water boils, then cover and lower heat to low, cooking for one minute. Remove from heat, keeping covered, for 13 more minutes.

    Step #2: Rapid Rinse

    Rinse eggs under cold water for about one minute in colander. Crack and peel under the running water. Pat dry with paper towel.

    Step #3: Fantastic Filling

    Cut eggs in half lengthwise, then remove yolks. Place egg whites on platter for serving. In mixing bowl, mash the yolks into a crumble with the fork. Combine mayo, vinegar, salt, pepper, and mustards in same bowl, and mix thoroughly. Carefully spoon mixture into egg whites, dividing evenly.

    Step #4: Great Garnishes

    Garnish by sprinkling with paprika, and adding fresh chives on top. Serve and enjoy immediately.
