Ingredients
  

For the eggs

  • 6 large large eggs Fresh eggs for easier peeling

For the filling

  • 1/4 cup mayonnaise Add more for an extra creamy filling
  • 1 teaspoon yellow mustard
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt Adjust to taste
  • 1/8 teaspoon black pepper Adjust to taste
  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika Plus more for dusting
  • 1 dash orange food coloring Optional, for vibrant color

For garnish

  • 2 tablespoons fresh chives, finely chopped For stems and garnish

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • Place the eggs in a single layer in a saucepan and cover them with cold water by an inch.
  • Bring to a rolling boil over high heat. Once boiling, remove from heat, cover, and let sit for exactly 10 minutes.
  • Prepare an ice bath by filling a large bowl with ice and water.
  • After 10 minutes, transfer the hot eggs to the ice bath using a slotted spoon and let them cool for at least 5 minutes.

Peeling the eggs

  • Gently tap each egg to crack the shell, roll it between your hands, and peel under cool running water.
  • Slice each egg in half lengthwise and scoop out the yolks into a bowl. Keep the egg whites intact.

Making the filling

  • In the bowl with the yolks, add mayonnaise, mustard, salt, pepper, and 1/2 teaspoon paprika, and a dash of food coloring if desired.
  • Mash until completely smooth, or press it through a fine-mesh sieve for extra smoothness.

Assembling the deviled eggs

  • Spoon the yolk mixture into a piping bag fitted with a star tip.
  • Pipe the mixture into each egg white, shaping it into a round, plump form.
  • Use the dull side of a knife or a toothpick to create indentations, mimicking pumpkin ridges.
  • Insert small bundles of chives into the tops of each pumpkin for stems.
  • Dust lightly with paprika and sprinkle remaining chives around the platter.
  • Chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving.

Notes

These deviled eggs can be made a day in advance. Store leftovers in an airtight container. Enjoy within 2-3 days for the best flavor. Freezing is not recommended as it alters the texture.
