Place the eggs in a large saucepan and add just enough water to cover them.
Bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Put the lid on the saucepan, reduce the temperature to low, and simmer for 5 minutes.

Remove the saucepan from the heat and move eggs to a colander in the sink. Run cold water over the eggs until they’re cool enough to handle.

Peel the eggs and cut each egg in half lengthwise.

Carefully remove the yolks and place them in a small bowl. Using a fork, mash the egg yolks. Add the mayonnaise, mustard, Tabasco, and salt and mix until smooth.

Place the egg whites on a platter or an egg plate and pipe or spoon the yolk filling onto each egg half.

Garnish with chives and sprinkle with paprika before serving.
