### Ingredients:
- 6 large eggs
- 3 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Paprika, for garnish
- Chives or parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)
Instructions:
- Start by boiling the eggs. Place the eggs in a saucepan and cover them with cold water, at least an inch above the eggs. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat.
- Once boiling, cover the saucepan and remove it from heat. Let the eggs sit for 12-15 minutes, depending on your desired level of doneness.
- After the time has elapsed, transfer the eggs to an ice water bath to cool completely, which will make peeling easier.
- Peel the cooled eggs under running water to remove any stubborn shells. Cut the eggs in half lengthwise, and remove the yolks into a mixing bowl.
- Add mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper to the yolks. Mix until smooth and creamy. Adjust seasoning as necessary.
- Using a spoon or a piping bag, fill the egg whites with the yolk mixture. Sprinkle with paprika and garnish with chives or parsley if desired.
