Directions

Cut eggs in half.
Remove and reserve the yolks in a small mixing bowl.
Arrange egg whites cut side up on a serving plate.
Mash yolks with fork then stir in mayonnaise and optional vinegar, mustard.
Add anything you like, as long as it passes the taste test.
Mash and stir all ingredients together until you obtain a smooth paste.
Add salt and pepper
Spoon a little bit of the mixture into each half egg.
- If available, use a pastry bag and pipe the mixture in the eggs for better presentation. (Pic5)
- Alternatively, use a plastic bag, cut off a small tip at a corner. (Pic7)
- For lack of better, even an ice cream scoop (Pic8) will work better than a fork. (Pic3+4)
