4 eggs
1 teaspoon white vinegar
1 pinch salt
2 tablespoons mayonnaise (plus 1 tsp. if desired, to make it just a tiny bit creamier)
2 tablespoons low-fat cream cheese (neufchatel)
1/2 teaspoon spicy brown mustard (whole grain is good)
1/2 teaspoon rice vinegar
1/2 teaspoon fresh lemon zest, grated small
1 tablespoon green onion, thinly sliced
1/8-1/4 teaspoon salt (to taste)
1/8 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
1/8-1/4 teaspoon smoked paprika
green onion, slices (to garnish) (optional)

Steps:

Place the eggs in a saucepan and cover with lukewarm water.
Add the white vinegar and a pinch of salt.
Bring to a full boil over medium heat,then boil for 2 more minutes.
Remove from heat and cover with a lid.
Let the eggs sit for about 10 minutes. Drain the eggs and run under very cold water to cool them down. Place eggs in ice water for about 5 minutes.
Drain and peel.
Remove yolks from egg whites carefully and mash with a fork in a bowl. Add mayonnaise, cream cheese, mustard, vinegar, lemon zest, green onion, salt and pepper. Stir to mix thoroughly.
Spoon(or pipe) into egg whites and sprinkle smoked paprika generously over the tops.
If you like, place a little green onion slices on top of eggs. Enjoy!
