Ingredients
  

6 large eggs

3 tablespoons mayonnaise

1 tablespoon Dijon mustard

1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar

1 tablespoon sriracha sauce (modify based on your spice preference)

Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

1 tablespoon fresh chives, finely minced

1 tablespoon pickled jalapeños, finely diced

Paprika, for a vibrant garnish

Microgreens or edible flowers for an elegant touch (optional)

Instructions
 

Begin by placing the eggs gently in a medium-sized pot. Ensure they are covered with cold water by at least an inch to prevent them from cracking during cooking.

    Over medium-high heat, bring the water to a rolling boil. Once boiling, cover the pot with a lid, then promptly remove it from the heat. Allow the eggs to sit in the covered pot for 12 to 14 minutes to achieve the perfect hard-boiled consistency.

      After cooking, quickly transfer the eggs into an ice bath (a bowl filled with cold water and ice) for 5 to 10 minutes. This step cools the eggs rapidly and makes peeling easier.

        Once cooled, peel the eggs under gently running water, tapping them lightly as needed to help remove the shell without damaging the whites. Slice each boiled egg in half lengthwise and carefully remove the yolks, placing them in a mixing bowl.

          In the bowl containing the yolks, combine the mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, apple cider vinegar, sriracha sauce, and a pinch of salt and freshly ground black pepper. Blend the ingredients together until you achieve a smooth and creamy consistency, free of lumps.

            Gently fold in the finely minced chives and diced pickled jalapeños, providing that signature spicy twist. Taste the mixture and adjust the seasoning as desired.

              Using a spoon or a piping bag, delicately fill each egg white half with the seasoned yolk mixture, mounding it slightly for visual appeal.

                For a delightful touch, sprinkle the tops of the deviled eggs with paprika. If you're feeling fancy, garnish each egg with a few microgreens or an edible flower for a beautiful presentation.
