Instructions
To hard boil your eggs, bring a pot of water to a full rolling boil. Turn the heat to low and use a skimmer or slotted spoon to slowly place your eggs into the water.
Return the heat to high and set the timer for 10 minutes.
Remove from heat when the timer is done, and rinse the eggs in cold water by placing the pan in your sink. Drain off the hot water and let cold water run over the eggs until cool enough to peel.
Tap the egg on your countertop to crack, and peel. Place peeled eggs into a storage container and cool in the refrigerator for 30 minutes to an hour.
Once cooled, slice eggs in half lengthwise. Pop the egg yolks out and place in a small bowl. Set the egg whites on a serving platter or in a storage container.
Mash the egg yolks using a fork until no large chunks remain. Add mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, apple cider vinegar, and season with salt and pepper.
Mix until creamy. Spoon small portions into the egg yolks, or pipe the egg yolk mixture if desired.
Top with paprika, chopped bacon, or chives if desired.
Notes
For a spicy twist, you can swap out the vinegar for a dash of Tabasco sauce!

When hard-boiling eggs, some people add vinegar or baking soda to the water. However, I've never noticed a difference in the ease of how my eggs peel.
You can fill your eggs with either a spoon or a piping bag. Use a large open star tip, like the Wilton brand 1M that I used here, to pipe the filling into each egg white.
