Classic Deviled Eggs
These deviled eggs are not only simple to make but are also customizable to suit your taste. Here’s everything you need to whip up this classic appetizer.
Ingredients
- 6 large eggs
- 1/4 cup mayonnaise
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Sweet paprika, for garnish
- Chives or dill, for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Start by placing the eggs in a saucepan and cover them with cold water. Bring the water to a boil over medium-high heat.
- Once the water reaches a boil, cover the pan, remove it from heat, and let it sit for about 12 minutes.
- After the time is up, transfer the eggs to an ice bath to cool for about 5-10 minutes. This helps to make peeling much easier.
- Once the eggs are cool, gently crack the shells and peel them under running water to remove any stubborn bits.
- Slice each egg in half lengthwise. Carefully remove the yolks and place them in a mixing bowl. Set the egg whites aside on a serving platter.
- To the bowl with the yolks, add the mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, apple cider vinegar, salt, and pepper. Mash everything together until you have a smooth, creamy mixture.
- Using a spoon or a piping bag, fill each egg white half with the yolk mixture. Just fill them generously to your liking!
- For the finishing touch, sprinkle sweet paprika over the top of each filled egg and garnish with chives or dill if desired.
Now you’re ready to serve your classic deviled eggs! They’re perfect for parties, potlucks, or as a snack any time. Enjoy the compliments!
