A delightful take on the classic deviled eggs, enhanced with a touch of Eastern European flavors.
Cut the hard-boiled eggs in half lengthwise and carefully remove the yolks.
Use a small spoon to gently scoop out the yolks without breaking the whites.
Mash the yolks in a mixing bowl until smooth.
For a creamier texture, use a fork or a potato masher.
Finely chop the onion and chives, then add them to the yolks.
Ensure the onion is finely chopped to blend well with the yolk mixture.
Mix in the mayonnaise, paprika, and lemon juice until well combined.
Adjust the seasoning to taste, adding a pinch of salt if needed.
Spoon the mixture back into the egg whites, creating a small mound.
Use a piping bag for a more decorative presentation.
Garnish with a sprinkle of paprika and a few chive pieces before serving.
Serve chilled for the best flavor and texture.
