Description

Deviled Eggs are a classic, creamy, and tangy appetizer known for their versatility and ease of customization. Perfect for gatherings, picnics, and holiday feasts.

Ingredients

Scale

1/2x 1x 2x 3x

• 12 eggs (older eggs are easier to peel)
• ¹⁄₂ cup mayonnaise
• 1 tsp white vinegar
• 1 tsp mustard (Dijon mustard preferred)
• ¹⁄₈ tsp salt
• ¹⁄₈ tsp pepper
• Paprika for garnish

Instructions

1. Cook Eggs

   Place eggs in a single layer in a saucepan and cover with enough water that there's 1 1/2 inches of water above the eggs. Heat on high until water begins to boil, then cover, turn the heat to low, and cook for 1 minute. Remove from heat and leave covered for 14 minutes, then rinse under cold water continuously for 1 minute.
   

2. Peel Eggs

   Crack egg shells and carefully peel under cool running water. Gently dry with paper towels.
   

3. Prepare Filling

   Slice the eggs in half lengthwise, removing yolks to a medium bowl, and placing the whites on a serving platter. Mash the yolks into a fine crumble using a fork. Add mayonnaise, vinegar, mustard, salt, and pepper, and mix well.

4. Fill Egg Whites

   Evenly disperse heaping teaspoons of the yolk mixture into the egg whites. Sprinkle with paprika and serve.
   For a smoother filling, mix with an electric mixer.
