  4. Cut the peeled eggs in half lengthwise and carefully remove the yolks. Place the yolks in a mixing bowl and set the egg whites aside.
  5. In the bowl with the yolks, add the mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, apple cider vinegar, salt, and pepper. Mix until creamy and smooth.
  6. Fold in the finely chopped pickled onions and half of the fresh herbs into the yolk mixture.
  7. Spoon or pipe the yolk mixture back into the egg whites.
  8. Sprinkle the tops with paprika and the remaining fresh herbs for garnish.
