Separate egg whites from egg halves, placing yolks in a small bowl and egg whites on a plate or serving platter in a single layer.
Spoon (or if it's super smooth, pipe with a pastry bag) about 1 Tbs. of the egg yolk mixture into each egg white. Top with a sprinkle of chopped chives or a dusting of paprika.
Deviled eggs may be wrapped tightly in plastic wrap until serving. Serve cold.
