1/2 teaspoon white vinegar
Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

- Remove the yolks and mash them in a small bowl.
- Mix in the mayonnaise, mustard, vinegar, salt, and pepper until smooth.
- Spoon or pipe the mixture back into the egg whites.

Notes
Add hot sauce or cayenne for a spicy kick.
Mix in sweet pickle relish for extra tang.
Swap half the mayo with mashed avocado for a healthier twist.
Use smoked paprika for a richer flavor.
Top with chopped chives or dill for freshness.
Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days.
