10 large eggs

2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
1/8 teaspoon salt
Freshly ground black pepper
Paprika

To boil the eggs, place them in pan with cold water to cover. Bring the water to a full boil and then reduce the heat to low and simmer the eggs for 5 minutes. Drain eggs in a colander and then place the eggs in ice water till the eggs are cold. This makes them easer to peel. When the eggs are cool, remove the shell and cut the eggs in half lengthwise. Remove yolks from eggs and place in a bowl and add the mayonnaise, red peppers, sour cream, chives, mustard, salt, and black pepper to taste; mash with a fork until well combined. Spoon 1 tablespoon of the yolk mixture into each egg white half. Sprinkle with paprika and serve.
