Classic Deviled Eggs
Deviled eggs are a staple in many households, especially during holidays and special parties. With their creamy filling and perfectly boiled egg whites, they offer a delicious bite-sized treat that can be customized in countless ways. Here’s how to make the classic version that will have everyone asking for more.
Ingredients:
- 6 large eggs
- 3 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon white vinegar
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Paprika for garnish
- Fresh chives or parsley for garnish (optional)
Instructions:
- Start by boiling the eggs. Place the eggs in a single layer in a pot and cover them with water. Bring the water to a boil over medium-high heat. Once the water reaches a rolling boil, cover the pot and remove it from heat. Let it sit for about 12 minutes.
- After 12 minutes, transfer the eggs to an ice bath to cool them quickly. Let them cool for about 5-10 minutes to stop the cooking process.
- Once the eggs are cool, gently tap each egg on the counter to crack the shell, then peel under running water for easier removal. Rinse the peeled eggs to remove any shell bits.
- Slice each egg in half lengthwise. Carefully remove the yolks and place them in a medium mixing bowl. Set the egg whites aside.
- Add the mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, white vinegar, salt, and pepper to the egg yolks. Mash the yolks with a fork until the mixture is smooth and well combined. Taste and adjust seasoning as desired.
- Using a spoon or a piping bag, fill the hollowed egg whites with the yolk mixture. Be generous with the filling! You can also use a ziplock bag with a corner snipped to pipe the yolk mixture neatly.
- Once all the egg whites are filled, sprinkle each deviled egg with paprika for a pop of color. If desired, you can also garnish with chives or parsley.
- Serve immediately, or refrigerate until ready to serve. Enjoy your delicious Classic Deviled Eggs!
