# What You'll Need:
→ Filling
02 - 3 tablespoons mayonnaise
03 - 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
04 - 1/2 teaspoon white wine vinegar
05 - 1/8 teaspoon garlic powder
06 - 1/8 teaspoon salt
07 - Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
→ Decoration
08 - 2 teaspoons sweet paprika, for dusting
09 - 1 to 2 chive stems, cut into small pieces
10 - 1 small carrot, cut into thin strips (optional)
# Steps to Follow:
01 - Place eggs in a saucepan, add enough cold water to cover, and bring to a boil. Once boiling, cover, remove from heat, and let sit for 10 to 12 minutes.
02 - Drain hot water and cool eggs under cold running water. Peel shells carefully to avoid breaking the eggs.
03 - Slice eggs lengthwise and gently remove yolks, transferring them to a mixing bowl.
04 - Mash egg yolks with a fork. Combine with mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, white wine vinegar, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Stir until smooth and creamy.
05 - Spoon or pipe the yolk mixture evenly into the egg white halves, slightly mounding the filling.
06 - Generously dust filled eggs with sweet paprika to produce a vibrant orange surface. Use a toothpick to gently score vertical lines, mimicking pumpkin ridges.
07 - Insert a small piece of chive at the top of each egg for the pumpkin stem. Optionally, add a thin carrot strip for leaf or vine detailing.
08 - Place assembled eggs on a serving platter and present immediately for best texture.
