What You’ll Need
Method
Step One
Place the 6 large eggs in a saucepan and cover them with water. Bring the water to a boil over medium-high heat. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and let the eggs simmer for 10 minutes.
Step Two
Remove the eggs from the hot water and place them in a bowl of ice water to cool for at least 5 minutes. Once cooled, peel the eggs and cut them in half lengthwise.
Step Three
Carefully remove the yolks from the halved eggs and place them in a small mixing bowl. Set the egg whites aside on a serving platter.
Step Four
Mash the egg yolks with a fork until they are crumbly. Add the 1/4 cup mayonnaise, 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard, 1 tablespoon finely minced Walla Walla sweet onion, and 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar to the mashed yolks. Mix until smooth. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Step Five
Using a spoon or a piping bag, fill the hollowed egg whites with the yolk mixture. Make sure to distribute the filling evenly among the egg halves.
Step Six
Optional: Garnish the filled deviled eggs with 1 teaspoon of chopped fresh chives and a sprinkle of paprika. Refrigerate until ready to serve.
