- 1/8 tsp onion powder
- Salt, to taste

Instructions
- Egg Preparation: Slice hard-boiled eggs lengthwise, carefully removing yolks into a mixing bowl and positioning egg white shells on a serving tray with hollow sides facing upward.
- Flavor Fusion: Whisk yolks with mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, white wine vinegar, granulated garlic, powdered onion, kosher salt, and black pepper until smooth and creamy using an immersion blender, eliminating any potential lumps.
- Filling and Garnishing: Pipe or spoon the silky yolk mixture back into egg white halves with precision, then sprinkle finely chopped chives or dust with paprika to elevate both visual appeal and flavor complexity.
- Serving Technique: Allow the assembled deviled eggs to rest at room temperature for 10-15 minutes, enabling the intricate flavor combinations to meld and intensify before presenting this elegant low-carb appetizer to eager guests.
Notes

- Blending Technique: Use an immersion blender for ultra-creamy, silky-smooth yolk mixture without any unwanted chunks.
- Flavor Boosting Hack: Adjust seasonings gradually, tasting as you mix to create a perfectly balanced, personalized filling.
- Garnish with Precision: Sprinkle herbs or paprika just before serving to maintain vibrant colors and fresh appearance.
