Ingredients

• 6 large eggs
• 3 tablespoons mayonnaise
• 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
• 1 teaspoon white vinegar
• 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
• 1/4 cup crumbled feta cheese
• 2 tablespoons chopped sun-dried tomatoes
• Fresh chives, chopped, for garnish

Cooking Method

1. Boil the Eggs: Place the eggs in a pot and cover them with water. Bring the water to a boil over medium-high heat. Once boiling, turn off the heat and let the eggs sit in the hot water for about 10-12 minutes.

2. Prepare the Filling: While the eggs are boiling, mix the mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, white vinegar, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper in a medium bowl.

3. Cool and Peel: After boiling, drain the eggs and transfer them to a bowl of ice water to cool. Once cooled, peel the eggs carefully.

4. 

   Prepare the Egg Halves: Cut the peeled eggs in half lengthwise. Remove the yolks and add them to the mayonnaise mixture. Mash the yolks into the mixture until smooth.

5. Add the Twist: Gently fold in the crumbled feta cheese and chopped sun-dried tomatoes into the yolk mixture.

6. 

   Fill the Egg Whites: Spoon or pipe the yolk mixture back into the egg white halves.

7. Garnish: Sprinkle the filled eggs with chopped chives for a fresh, vibrant touch.

8. Serve: Arrange the deviled eggs on a serving platter and enjoy!

Nutritious Value and Pairing Suggestions

Deviled eggs are a nutrient-rich appetizer; they are high in protein, thanks to the eggs, and provide healthy fats from the mayonnaise. The feta cheese adds a dose of calcium, and the sun-dried tomatoes contribute antioxidants and vitamins. These eggs can be a part of a balanced diet when consumed in moderation.

For a complete meal, pair these deviled eggs with a fresh arugula salad topped with cherry tomatoes and a light lemon vinaigrette. The peppery greens and acidity from the dressing counterbalance the richness of the eggs. For a drink pairing, a crisp white wine like Sauvignon Blanc or a sparkling water with a splash of lime would complement the dish beautifully.

These deviled eggs with a twist are not only an exciting take on a beloved classic but also a nutritious and flavorful addition to any table. Whether you serve them as an appetizer or a side dish, they are sure to be a hit.
