  • Cool the eggs rapidly in an ice bath for about 10 minutes after boiling.
  • Peel the cooled eggs under running water for easier removal of shells.
  • Slice the eggs in half lengthwise and carefully remove the yolks.
  • In a mixing bowl, mash the yolks with mayonnaise, mustard, vinegar, salt, and pepper until smooth.
  • If desired, add food coloring to the yolk mixture until the desired color is achieved.
