Preparation:

Step 1
• Place the eggs in a single layer in a wide saucepan, cover with water to a depth of 2 cm, and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to medium and simmer for 10 minutes. Transfer the eggs to a bowl of ice water to cool completely, then peel them thoroughly.
Step 2
• Pour hot water into a small bowl and wet a clean kitchen towel. Wipe the blade of your knife with the towel to warm it and dampen it. Cut the eggs in half lengthwise, one at a time, wiping the blade between each cut. A warm, damp knife will ensure even cuts. Place the yolks in a medium bowl.
Step 3
• Whisk the yolks. Add mayonnaise, mustard, hot sauce, if using, and salt and black pepper to taste. Whisk until very smooth. Transfer to a large zip-lock plastic bag or a disposable pastry bag and snip off the corner with scissors.
Step 4
• Place the egg whites on a plate. Evenly pipe the filling into the whites. Sprinkle with chives and paprika. Refrigerate for 20-25 minutes before serving.
  
  Note
  
  When eggs are left for a long time, the whites begin to lose their viscosity and shape, and an air gap forms between the whites and the membrane. These eggs peel easily. Look for eggs closer to the expiration date printed on the carton.
