- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon hot sauce
- 1 pinch cayenne pepper
- Salt to taste

Place the eggs in a medium saucepan and cover them with cold water by one inch. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat.
Once the water reaches a rolling boil, cover the pot with a lid, remove it from the heat, and let the eggs sit for 10 minutes.
Drain the eggs and transfer them to a bowl of ice water. Let them cool for 5 minutes.
Peel the eggs and slice them in half lengthwise. Remove the yolks and place them in a mixing bowl.
Mash the yolks with a fork until smooth. Add mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, hot sauce, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper. Mix until creamy and well combined.
Spoon or pipe the yolk mixture back into the egg whites, dividing evenly among the halves.
Garnish each deviled egg with a sprinkle of paprika, freshly chopped chives, and a slice of jalapeño if desired.
Arrange on a serving platter and refrigerate until ready to serve.
