Instructions:

- Carefully remove the yolks and place them in a medium-sized bowl.
- Set the egg whites aside on a serving platter.
- Mash the yolks with a fork until they are crumbly.
- Mix the Filling:
- Add the mayonnaise, mustard, vinegar, salt, and pepper to the mashed yolks.
- Mix until the filling is smooth and well combined.
- Fill the Egg Whites:
- Spoon or pipe the yolk mixture back into the egg white halves.
- Use a piping bag with a star tip for a fancier presentation, if desired.
- Garnish and Serve:
- Sprinkle a little paprika over the top of the filled eggs for color.
- Optionally, garnish with chopped fresh chives or parsley.
- Serve immediately or refrigerate until ready to serve.
