Step 1: Boil the Eggs
Place eggs in a single layer in a saucepan. Cover with water and bring to a boil over medium heat. Once boiling, cover the pot, turn off the heat, and let sit for 10-12 minutes.
Step 2: Cool and Peel
Transfer eggs to a bowl of ice water and let cool for about 5 minutes. Once cool, peel and slice each egg in half lengthwise.
Step 3: Make the Filling
Carefully scoop out the yolks into a bowl. Mash them with a fork, then stir in mayonnaise, mustard sauce, hot sauce, salt, and pepper. Mix until smooth and creamy.
Step 4: Fill the Egg Whites
Spoon or pipe the yolk mixture back into the egg white halves. For a neater finish, use a piping bag or zip-top bag with the corner snipped off.
Step 5: Garnish
Sprinkle each egg with paprika and top with chopped chives for a pop of color and flavor.
