Introduction:

Deviled Eggs are a timeless appetizer that’s perfect for gatherings, holidays, or a simple snack. Made with creamy yolks and a touch of tangy mustard and mayonnaise, these eggs are easy to prepare and can be customized to suit any flavor profile.

Ingredients:

  • 6 large eggs
  • 3 tablespoons mayonnaise
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 teaspoon white vinegar (optional)
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • Paprika, for garnish
  • Chopped fresh parsley or chives (optional, for garnish)

Preparation Tips:

  1. Perfect Boil: Boil the eggs gently to prevent cracking and ensure easy peeling.
  2. Cool Quickly: Transfer boiled eggs to an ice bath immediately to make peeling easier.
  3. Pipe the Filling: Use a piping bag or a zip-top bag with the corner snipped off for a neater presentation.
  4. Customize Flavors: Add hot sauce, pickle relish, or smoked paprika for a twist.
  5. Make Ahead: Prepare the filling in advance and assemble just before serving for freshness.

Instructions:

Step 1: Hard-Boil the Eggs
Place the eggs in a saucepan and cover them with cold water. Bring the water to a boil, then reduce heat to a simmer. Cook for 10 minutes. Transfer the eggs to an ice bath and let them cool for 10 minutes. Peel the eggs and slice them in half lengthwise.

Step 2: Prepare the Filling
Gently remove the yolks and place them in a mixing bowl. Set the whites aside. Mash the yolks with a fork until smooth. Add mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, vinegar (if using), salt, and black pepper. Mix until creamy and well combined.

Step 3: Fill the Egg Whites
Spoon or pipe the yolk mixture into the hollowed egg whites. Smooth the tops or create decorative swirls for a polished look.

Step 4: Garnish and Serve
Sprinkle with paprika and garnish with chopped parsley or chives if desired. Serve immediately or refrigerate until ready to serve.
