Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 6 large eggs
  • 1/4 cup mayonnaise
  • 1 tsp Dijon mustard
  • 1/2 tsp white vinegar
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • pinch black pepper
  • 1/2 tsp smoked paprika for color and flavor
  • 1-2 drops orange food coloring optional
  • 6 small pieces fresh chives for stems

Equipment

  • Saucepan
  • Mixing Bowl
  • Piping Bag

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Place eggs in a saucepan, cover with cold water, bring to a rolling boil, then remove from heat, cover, and let stand for 10-12 minutes. Immediately transfer eggs to an ice bath for several minutes, then peel carefully once cooled.
  2. Carefully halve each peeled egg lengthwise and scoop the yolks into a small mixing bowl; set the egg white halves aside on a platter.
  3. Mash the egg yolks thoroughly with mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, white vinegar, salt, pepper, and smoked paprika until smooth. Add 1-2 drops of orange food coloring if you desire a more vibrant pumpkin hue, mixing well.
  4. Pipe or spoon the yolk mixture back into the reserved egg white halves. Garnish each deviled egg with a small piece of fresh chive to resemble a pumpkin stem.

Notes

For perfectly peelable eggs, use eggs that are a week or two old. Adjust the amount of mayonnaise and mustard to your taste. For an even more vibrant pumpkin color, a tiny drop of orange food coloring can be added to the yolk mixture.
