Mix
Using a fork, mash the yolks. Add the rest of the ingredients and mix until well blended.
Pipe
Transfer the egg paste into a piping bag or use a small plastic bag and cut a hole at one of the corners. Pipe the egg yolk paste into the hollow cups of the egg white halves.
Garnish
Sprinkle with paprika (or chili powder) and chopped parsley or celery leaves if desired.
