Let’s make it.

Place eggs in a saucepan and cover with cold water. Bring to a boil, reduce to a gentle simmer and cook until yolks and whites are firm, about 10–12 minutes.
Cool promptly in ice water, peel and halve lengthways.
Mash yolks with mayonnaise, mustard, lemon and salt.
Spoon filling into whites, sprinkle with paprika and refrigerate until serving.

A little kitchen note
