- 6 hard-boiled eggs 🥚

- 1/4 teaspoon salt 🧂

Instructions:
-
Prepare Hard-Cooked Eggs:
- Begin by putting a small pinhole in one end of each egg. 📍
- Place the eggs in a pot of water, ensuring they are fully submerged. 🥚
- Bring the water to a boil over medium-high heat.
- Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and let the eggs simmer gently for 20 minutes. ⏲️
- When the eggs are cooked to perfection, immediately transfer them to a bowl filled with ice cubes and cold water. This prevents the yolks from turning green. ❄️

Assemble the Deviled Eggs:
- Once the eggs are cool, carefully slice them in half lengthwise. 🥚
- Pop out the yolks and place them in a mixing bowl. 🥣
- Using a fork, mash the yolks until smooth and creamy.
- To the mashed yolks, add mayonnaise, vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and dry mustard. 🌿
- Mix everything together until you achieve a velvety-smooth consistency. You can use a hand mixer for this step if you prefer. 🌀
-
Fill and Garnish:
- Spoon or pipe the yolk mixture into the waiting egg white halves. 🥄
- For that classic finishing touch, sprinkle each deviled egg with a generous pinch of paprika. 🌶️
- Voilà! Your Easy Deviled Eggs are ready to be devoured. 😋
