- Cut the eggs: After peeling, cut each egg in half lengthwise and place the egg whites on a serving plate.
- Prepare the filling: Remove yolks from the egg whites and mash them in a bowl. Mix in mayonnaise, mustard, and salt until creamy.
- Fill the egg whites: Fill each egg white with the yolk mixture using a spoon or piping bag.
