Deviled Eggs

Ingredients:
6 hard-boiled eggs, peeled and halved
1/4 cup mayonnaise
1/2 teaspoon ground mustard
1/2 teaspoon white vinegar
1/8 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
1/2 teaspoon dried chives
1/2 teaspoon dried dill
Paprika, to garnish

To hard-boil the eggs:
Put the eggs in a sauce pan and cover with water (about 1" above the eggs).  Bring to a boil; remove from heat.  Reduce heat to simmer and cook for 1 minute; remove pan from heat completely, cover, and allow eggs to cook for 12 more minutes off the heat.  Remove from water and let cool in the refrigerator. 

Directions:
Pop out the egg yolks and mash them in a bowl.  Add the remaining ingredients (except paprika) and mix together until well combined and desired texture.  To fill each egg white use either a pastry bag or cut a small hole in the corner of a plastic sandwich bag.  Top each egg with a sprinkle of paprika, then refrigerate until ready to serve.  Yields 12 deviled eggs.
