Make classic deviled eggs with a creamy, rich filling perfect for any gathering or appetizer spread.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 12 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 teaspoon 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 one inch. Bring water to a rolling boil over high heat.
  2. Once boiling, remove the pan from the heat, cover it, and let the eggs stand for 12 minutes.
  3. Immediately transfer the eggs to an ice bath and let them cool completely, about 10 minutes.
  4. Peel the cooled eggs and slice them in half lengthwise. Gently scoop the yolks into a medium bowl.
  5. Place the empty egg white halves on a serving platter.
  6. Mash the yolks thoroughly with a fork. Add the mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, vinegar, salt, and pepper. Mix until the filling is smooth and creamy.
  7. Spoon or pipe the yolk mixture back into the egg white halves.
  8. Sprinkle the tops of the filled eggs with paprika before serving.

Notes

  • For easier peeling, use eggs that are about one week old, not fresh.
  • You can make the filling up to 24 hours ahead and store it covered in the refrigerator. Fill the egg whites just before serving.
  • For extra flavor, add 1/2 teaspoon of pickle relish to the yolk mixture.
