6 large Eggs The base of this dish; they provide essential protein.
1/2 cup Mayonnaise Adds rich creaminess; Greek yogurt works as a healthier alternative.
1 tablespoon Dijon Mustard Introduces a tangy kick; yellow mustard can be used instead if preferred.
1 teaspoon White Vinegar Brightens up the flavor; for a twist, lemon juice can be substituted.
to taste Salt Essential for flavor enhancement.
to taste Pepper Essential for flavor enhancement.
1 teaspoon Orange Gel or Liquid Food Coloring Gives the filling a festive pumpkin look; can be skipped for a classic style.

1/4 cup Fresh Chives Used as playful stems; parsley can work in a pinch if chives are unavailable.
1 teaspoon Smoked Paprika Adds a hint of smokiness for garnish; omit for a milder flavor.

Carefully place the eggs in a saucepan, cover them with water, and bring to a boil. Remove from heat, cover, and let them sit for 10-12 minutes. Chill in ice water before peeling for the perfect texture.
Gently halve the cooled eggs and scoop the yolks into a mixing bowl. This will be the base for your delicious filling!
Mash the yolks until smooth, and mix in mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, white vinegar, salt, and pepper. Blend until creamy and well-combined.
Add orange gel or liquid food coloring to the yolk mixture, mixing until the color is evenly distributed.
Using a piping bag, carefully fill the egg whites with the orange yolk mixture, creating a textured appearance that resembles mini pumpkins.
Snip the fresh chives into small segments and gently press them into the filling as cute 'stems.' This adds a fun visual element.
If desired, sprinkle a pinch of smoked paprika over the top for an extra flavor kick and an appealing finish.

Prepare the filling ahead of time for a stress-free serving. Enjoy these bites cold as an appetizer for best flavor.
