Grandpa insisted on making these for every spring gathering. Just 3 ingredients. A creamy, savory classic that melts in your mouth.

Variations & Tips
If you want a little more tang without adding extra ingredients, use a slightly sharper mayonnaise (like one made with olive oil) and bump up the paprika. For a smoky twist, swap regular paprika for smoked paprika—it still keeps you at three ingredients but changes the flavor completely. If you’re meal prepping, boil a full dozen eggs and double the mayonnaise and paprika so you have extra egg bombs for snacks all week. To keep them neat in the container, nestle a piece of paper towel under the lid to catch condensation so the tops stay dry and pretty. For presentation, you can pipe the filling using a small zip-top bag with the corner snipped off instead of spooning it; it looks fancy but takes almost no extra time. If you need to make them a day ahead, wait to dust with paprika until just before serving so the color stays vibrant and doesn’t bleed into the filling.
