Ingredients
Scale
- 6 large eggs
- 1/4 cup mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon prepared horseradish, drained
- 1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh chives, plus more for garnish
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/8 teaspoon black pepper
- Pinch of paprika for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Place eggs in a single layer in a saucepan. Cover with cold water by 1 inch. Bring water to a rolling boil over high heat.
- Once boiling, immediately remove the saucepan from heat, cover, and let stand for 10-12 minutes.
- Drain the hot water and immediately transfer the eggs to an ice bath (a bowl of ice water) for at least 5 minutes. This stops the cooking process and makes them easier to peel.
- Carefully peel the cooled eggs. Slice each egg in half lengthwise. Gently scoop the yolks into a medium bowl.
- Place the egg white halves on a serving platter.
- Mash the egg yolks with a fork until smooth. Add mayonnaise, prepared horseradish, chives, Dijon mustard, salt, and black pepper to the mashed yolks. Mix well until creamy and thoroughly combined.
- Spoon or pipe the yolk mixture back into the centers of the egg white halves.
- Garnish with additional fresh chives and a pinch of paprika, if desired.
- Serve immediately or refrigerate until ready to serve.
Notes
- For easier peeling, use eggs that are a few days old, not super fresh.
- Adjust the amount of horseradish to your preferred level of spice.
- For a smoother filling, you can press the yolk mixture through a fine-mesh sieve before mixing in other ingredients.
