Classic Deviled Eggs are a timeless appetizer featuring creamy, tangy egg yolk filling in perfectly halved boiled egg whites. Easy to make and customizable, they’re perfect for parties, picnics, or as a savory snack.

Ingredients

6 large eggs

1/4 cup mayonnaise

1 teaspoon Dijon mustard

1 teaspoon white vinegar or apple cider vinegar

Salt and pepper to taste

Paprika for garnish (optional)

Fresh parsley or chives for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Boil the eggs: Place the eggs in a medium saucepan, cover with water, and bring to a boil over high heat. Once boiling, reduce the heat and simmer for 9-12 minutes. Transfer to ice water to cool for 5 minutes and peel the eggs.
  2. Prepare the filling: Slice each boiled egg in half lengthwise and remove the yolks into a mixing bowl. Arrange the egg whites on a platter.
  3. Mash the yolks: Mash the yolks with a fork, then add the mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, vinegar, salt, and pepper. Stir until smooth and creamy. Adjust the seasoning as needed.
  4. Fill the egg whites: Spoon or pipe the yolk mixture back into the egg whites.
  5. Garnish: Sprinkle with paprika and garnish with fresh parsley or chives, if desired.
  6. Serve: Serve immediately or refrigerate for up to 2 days before serving.

Notes

For spicy deviled eggs, add cayenne pepper, hot sauce, or chopped jalapeños.

Try adding pickle relish, avocado, or curry powder for variations.

Garnish with fresh herbs, pickles, or a dash of hot sauce for added flavor and visual appeal.
