- ½ teaspoon yellow mustard
- ½ teaspoon dijon mustard
- ½ teaspoon dill pickle juice

Instructions
Hardboiled eggs:
- Fill a pot that has a lid with room temperature water.
- Carefully place the eggs in the pot of water. Turn the heat to high.
- As soon as the water comes to a rolling boil, cover the pot with the lid, and completely turn off the heat.
- Leave the pot on the hot burner. Set a timer for 11 minutes.
- Add a cup of ice to a bowl and fill with water to make an ice water bath.
- After 11 minutes, carefully spoon out the eggs from the pot and place in the ice water bath.
- Let the eggs cool for 5-10 minutes before peeling.
Deviled Eggs:
- Cut the eggs in half lengthwise.
- Remove the yolks by gently popping them out or using a spoon and place them in a mixing bowl.
- Mash the egg yolks using the back of a fork or a hand mixer.
- To the egg yolks, add 5 tablespoons mayonnaise, ½ teaspoon yellow mustard, ½ teaspoon dijon mustard, ½ teaspoon dill pickle juice, ¼ teaspoon apple cider vinegar, and ¼ teaspoon kosher salt. Mix until creamy and well combined.
- Spoon the mixture into each egg, about 1 tablespoon. You can also add the mixture to a piping bag or ziploc bag, cut off the tip/corner and pipe the filling into the eggs for a cleaner look.
- Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
- Garnish with paprika and chopped chives and serve!
