Deviled eggs are a classic appetizer, perfect for parties, picnics, or holiday gatherings. The hard-boiled egg whites are filled with a creamy, tangy mixture made from the yolks, mayonnaise, mustard, and a touch of seasoning. Garnished with paprika or fresh herbs, deviled eggs are an easy-to-make, crowd-pleasing treat.
Ingredients
- 6 large eggs
- 3 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon white vinegar
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Paprika (for garnish)
- Fresh parsley or chives (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
- Boil the Eggs: Place the eggs in a single layer in a saucepan and cover with water. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce the heat to low and let the eggs simmer for 9-10 minutes.
- Cool and Peel: Remove the eggs from the boiling water and place them in a bowl of ice water to cool. Once cooled, peel the eggs and slice them in half lengthwise.
- Prepare the Filling: Gently remove the yolks from the egg whites and place them in a mixing bowl. Mash the yolks with a fork, then add the mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, white vinegar, salt, and pepper. Mix until smooth and creamy.
- Fill the Egg Whites: Spoon the yolk mixture into the hollowed-out egg whites. You can also pipe the filling using a pastry bag or a plastic sandwich bag with the tip cut off for a more polished look.
- Garnish and Serve: Sprinkle paprika over the filled eggs for a pop of color. Optionally, garnish with fresh parsley or chives for added flavor. Serve chilled.
