Method
Bring a saucepan of water to the boil, then carefully lower in the eggs with a slotted spoon.
Cover the pan, remove from the heat and leave the eggs to stand in the hot water for 12 minutes, then drain and plunge them into a bowl of iced water to stop the cooking.
Peel the cooled eggs, halve them lengthways and scoop the yolks into a bowl, keeping the whites intact.
Mash the yolks with the mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, cider vinegar and kosher salt until smooth.
Spoon or pipe the yolk mixture back into the egg white halves.
Dust with smoked paprika and scatter over the chives just before serving.
