Method

  1. Place the eggs in a saucepan in a single layer and add enough water to cover them with 2 inches of water.

  2. Bring the water to a boil, then reduce the heat and cover the saucepan. Let it cook for 1 minute.

  3. Remove the saucepan from the heat and keep it covered for 14 minutes. Then, rinse the eggs under cold water.

  4. Crack the eggshells and carefully peel them under cool running water.

  5. Cut the eggs in half lengthwise and remove the yolks. Transfer the yolks to a small bowl and place the egg whites on a serving platter.

  6. Mash the yolks using a fork, then mix in mayonnaise, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper.

  7. Spoon the yolk mixture evenly into the egg whites, smoothing the top.

  8. Sprinkle paprika all over the yolk mixture, completely covering it. Use a sharp paring knife to create ridges on the paprika-dusted yolk, resembling a pumpkin.

  9. Place a chive on top of the egg mixture to resemble a stem. Serve.
