Add about 1 in. of water to a pot with a steamer basket in the bottom. Rinse eggs with warm water. Once the water is boiling heavily, add the eggs to the steamer basket and allow to steam for about 12 minutes. If the eggs aren’t in a single layer: first, why are you cooking so many eggs; and second, add about five minutes to account for the added eggs.
6 large eggs
Once the timer has gone off, remove eggs from the steam and set aside to cool for about 30 minutes. Do not plunge in water or do anything besides letting them cool naturally for a bit, until they are not too hot to handle. Peel the eggs.
Halve the eggs lengthwise, and carefully scoop out yolks. Place yolks in a bowl, and mash with a fork. Add the 1 tsp Dijon mustard, a few dashes of Cholula, a ¼ tsp salt, ¼ tsp pepper, and snipped chives. Stir in 3 tbsp mayonnaise.
1 tsp Dijon mustard, 2 dashes Cholula hot sauce, ¼ tsp freshly ground black pepper, 1 tbsp snipped fresh chives, 3 tbsp mayonnaise, ¼ tsp salt
Fill each egg white with about 1½ teaspoons of the egg-yolk mixture and dust the top with paprika. Garnish with whole chives.
