Place 6 eggs into a large pot and cover with water.

Heat the pot to a boil and cook for 1 to 2 minutes.

Remove the pot from heat, cover with a lid, and let sit for 10 to 14 minutes.

Remove the eggs from the water and add them to an ice bath to stop cooking.

Once cooled to the touch, peel the eggs using a spoon to help remove the shell in large chunks.

Slice each egg in half, resulting in 12 deviled eggs.

Place the yolks into a bowl and mash them.

Add 1/4 cup of mayonnaise and 1 teaspoon of yellow mustard to the yolks.

Season with about 1/2 teaspoon of salt and 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper, or to taste.

Mix all ingredients until creamy, using a fork to mash the yolks.

Spoon the yolk mixture back into the egg whites or pipe it in using a piping bag for a fancier presentation.

Sprinkle paprika on top for garnish and optionally add parsley or chives.
