Deviled Eggs Recipe

Creamy, tangy deviled eggs made with a simple mayo-and-mustard filling and a sprinkle of paprika.
Prep Time 10 minutes
Cook Time 15 minutes
Total Time 25 minutes
Servings: 12 servings

Ingredients
  

  • 6 large eggs
  • 1/4 cup mayonnaise
  • 1 teaspoon yellow mustard
  • 1 teaspoon white vinegar
  • salt to taste
  • black pepper to taste
  • paprika for garnish

Equipment

  • Saucepan
  • Mixing Bowl
  • Fork
  • Spoon or piping bag
  • Knife
  • Serving Platter

Method
 

  1. Place the eggs in a single layer in a saucepan and cover with cold water by about 1 inch. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce heat to low and simmer for 9–12 minutes until hard-boiled.
  2. Drain the hot water and transfer eggs to a bowl of ice water; chill for at least 5 minutes to stop cooking and make peeling easier.
  3. Peel the cooled eggs, cut each egg in half lengthwise, and transfer the yolks to a mixing bowl. Arrange the egg white halves on a serving platter.
  4. Mash the yolks with a fork until crumbly. Stir in the mayonnaise, yellow mustard, and white vinegar until smooth. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
  5. Spoon or pipe the yolk mixture into each egg white half, dividing evenly.
  6. Sprinkle the filled eggs with paprika and chill until ready to serve.

Notes

  • Use older eggs for easier peeling.
  • Chill eggs in ice water for at least 5 minutes after boiling.
  • Adjust mayonnaise for a firmer or creamier filling.
  • Mustard and vinegar add tang—taste before adding more salt.
