The Best Deviled Eggs

Deviled eggs are a classic appetizer that is always a crowd-pleaser. The best-deviled eggs are creamy, flavorful, and easy to make. In this article, we'll share some tips and tricks to make the perfect deviled eggs every time.

Ingredients:

12 large eggs

1/2 cup mayonnaise

2 tablespoons Dijon mustard

1 teaspoon white vinegar

1/4 teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Paprika, for garnish

Chopped fresh chives or parsley, for garnish

Instructions:

Place the eggs in a single layer in a saucepan and cover with water. Bring the water to a boil over high heat.

Once the water boils, turn off the heat and cover the saucepan. Let the eggs sit in the hot water for 12-15 minutes.

Drain the hot water and run cold water over the eggs to cool them down quickly.

Once the eggs are cool, peel them and cut them in half lengthwise.

Gently remove the yolks and place them in a bowl.

Add the mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, white vinegar, salt, and black pepper to the bowl with the yolks. Mash everything together until smooth.

Spoon or pipe the yolk mixture back into the egg white halves.

Sprinkle with paprika and chopped fresh chives or parsley.

Tips for Making the Best Deviled Eggs:

Use eggs that are at least a week old. Fresh eggs are harder to peel, while older eggs are easier to peel.

To make peeling the eggs easier, gently tap them on a hard surface to crack the shell all around before peeling.

Use a pastry bag or plastic bag with the corner snipped off to pipe the yolk mixture into the egg white halves for a more professional look.

Experiment with different mix-ins, such as crumbled bacon, chopped herbs, or hot sauce, to make the deviled eggs your own.
