Instructions

Place eggs in a saucepan, cover with cold, salted water. Bring to a boil, reduce heat, and simmer for 10-12 minutes until hard-cooked. Drain and cool in an ice bath, then peel. Slice eggs lengthwise, scoop out the yolks.

Gently spoon the yolk mixture back into the egg whites, creating a generous filling. Sprinkle with paprika and refrigerate until serving.
