Carefully slice the eggs in half lengthwise and remove the yolks to a medium bowl.
Roughly mash the egg yolks with a fork.
Add 1 tablespoon yellow mustard, 2 tablespoons granulated sugar, and 3 tablespoons white vinegar (or apple cider vinegar) to the mashed yolks.
Mix well.
Gradually stir in mayonnaise or Miracle Whip, starting with 2 tablespoons, until you reach your desired creamy consistency. Add more if needed.
Season generously with salt and pepper to taste.
Spoon the yolk mixture evenly back into the egg white halves.
Sprinkle with paprika for a vibrant garnish (optional).
Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow flavors to meld.
