# Step-by-Step Directions:

02 - Gently extract yolks and transfer to a mixing bowl. Mash yolks with mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, white wine vinegar, salt, and pepper until uniformly smooth.
03 - Pipe or spoon yolk mixture into each egg white half. Dust with paprika and finish with chopped chives or dill. Refrigerate until ready to serve.
04 - Wash all fruit thoroughly. Peel, slice, and pat dry as needed. Arrange in sections on a serving board or platter for visual appeal.
05 - Briefly warm pastries in a low oven if desired. Cluster croissants, chocolate pastries, Danish pastries, and muffins on the board.
06 - On a large serving board, organize deviled eggs, fruit, and pastries in distinct clusters. Place small bowls of preserves, butter, and honey on the board. Garnish generously with fresh mint leaves.
