Preparation
  1. Hard boil the eggs by placing them in a pot and covering with water. Bring the pot to a boil over medium-high heat.
  2. Once boiling, cover the pot and let it sit off the heat for 12 minutes.
  3. After 12 minutes, remove the eggs from the pot and place them in cold water for 5-10 minutes to stop the cooking process.
  4. Once cooled, gently peel the shells off, making sure to remove any bits that stick.
Filling the Eggs
  1. Cut each egg in half lengthwise and carefully remove the yolks, placing them in a mixing bowl.
  2. Mash the yolks with mayonnaise, mustard, salt, and pepper until smooth and creamy. Adjust seasoning if needed.
Coloring the Egg Whites
  1. Prepare colored water by mixing 1 cup of water, 1 tablespoon of vinegar, and a few drops of food coloring in small bowls.
  2. Dip the egg whites in the colored water for a few seconds until they reach the desired color. Let them dry.
Assembly
  1. Fill each colored egg white with the yolk mixture using a spoon or piping bag.
  2. Sprinkle paprika on top and add chives or parsley for garnish.

Notes

Serve chilled for the best taste. Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Avoid freezing as egg whites may become rubbery.
