Ingredients
Scale
Eggs and Filling
- 12 hard-boiled eggs
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon white vinegar
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/8 teaspoon black pepper
Garnishes
- Paprika, for garnish
- Chopped chives, for garnish
Instructions
- Cut the eggs: Cut the hard-boiled eggs in half lengthwise carefully to avoid breaking the whites.
- Remove the yolks: Scoop out the yolks gently and place them in a medium mixing bowl.
- Make the filling: Add mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, white vinegar, salt, and black pepper to the yolks. Mash and mix thoroughly until the texture is smooth and creamy.
- Fill the whites: Spoon or pipe the yolk mixture back into the egg white halves, filling each cavity evenly.
- Garnish: Sprinkle each filled egg with paprika for color and flavor, and top with chopped chives for a fresh touch.
- Chill before serving: Refrigerate the deviled eggs for at least 30 minutes to allow flavors to meld and to serve well chilled.
Notes
- Use fresh eggs for best results and easier peeling when hard boiling.
- For a smoother filling, strain the yolk mixture or use a food processor.
- Adjust seasoning to taste, adding more mustard or vinegar if desired.
- Deviled eggs can be made a day ahead and stored tightly covered in the refrigerator.
- For a festive twist, experiment with garnishes like finely diced red peppers or smoked paprika.
