Classic Deviled Eggs

Deliciously creamy deviled eggs that make a perfect appetizer for any gathering.

Ingredients

  • 6 large eggs
  • 1/4 cup mayonnaise
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 teaspoon vinegar (white or apple cider)
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • Paprika, for garnish
  • Fresh herbs (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Place the eggs in a pot of cold water—enough to cover them by an inch.
  2. Bring the water to a boil over medium heat.
  3. Turn off the heat, cover the pot, and let it sit for about 12 minutes.
  4. Transfer the eggs to an ice bath to cool for 5 minutes.
  5. Crack the eggs and peel them under running water.
  6. Slice the eggs in half lengthwise and remove the yolks.
  7. Mash the yolks with mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, vinegar, salt, and pepper until smooth.
  8. Spoon or pipe the yolk mixture back into the egg whites.
  9. Sprinkle with paprika and fresh herbs before serving.

Notes

For easier peeling, use slightly older eggs. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
