Step-by-Step Instructions
1. Hard-Boil the Eggs
Start by boiling 6 large eggs. Place them in a saucepan, cover with water, and bring to a boil. Once boiling, turn off the heat, cover, and let the eggs sit for 10-12 minutes. Drain and rinse under cold water to cool. Peel the eggs.
2. Chop the Eggs
Chop the hard-boiled eggs into small pieces and place them in a medium mixing bowl. You can also mash them with a fork if you prefer a finer texture.
3. Mix the Dressing
In a separate small bowl, whisk together 1/3 cup mayonnaise, 1 teaspoon yellow mustard, 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar, 1/4 teaspoon smoked or regular paprika, and salt and pepper to taste.
4. Combine and Mix
Pour the dressing over the chopped eggs and gently mix until everything is well combined. Adjust seasonings as needed.
5. Garnish and Serve
Sprinkle a pinch of paprika on top for garnish and serve immediately.
