Description

A simple recipe for making creamy, tangy deviled eggs, a perfect appetizer for any gathering.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 12 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 2 tablespoons yellow mustard
  • 1 tablespoon white vinegar
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/8 teaspoon black pepper
  • Paprika, for garnish


Instructions

  1. Place eggs in a large saucepan and cover with cold water by about one inch.
  2. Bring the water to a full, rolling boil over high heat.
  3. Once boiling, immediately remove the pan from the heat, cover it, and let the eggs stand for 12 minutes.
  4. Transfer the eggs to an ice bath (a bowl of ice water) and let them cool completely, about 10 minutes.
  5. Peel the cooled eggs and slice them in half lengthwise.
  6. Carefully scoop the yolks into a small bowl.
  7. Mash the yolks with a fork until fine.
  8. Add the mayonnaise, mustard, vinegar, salt, and pepper to the yolks. Mix until the filling is smooth and creamy.
  9. Spoon or pipe the yolk mixture back into the hollowed-out egg white halves.
  10. Sprinkle paprika over the top of each filled egg half before serving.

Notes

  • To make peeling easier, add 1 teaspoon of baking soda to the water when boiling the eggs.
  • For a smoother filling, press the mashed yolks through a fine-mesh sieve before mixing in the other ingredients.
  • If you do not have a piping bag, use a small spoon to fill the egg white halves.
