Deviled eggs are a classic party appetizer that are easy to make and always a hit. They are made with hard-boiled eggs that are halved, stuffed with a creamy filling, and garnished with a variety of toppings. This recipe is for a classic deviled egg, but you can add herbs, spices, or sauces to the filling to give them more flavor.
Ingredients:
- 6 eggs
- 1/4 cup mayonnaise
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon white vinegar
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- Paprika, for garnish
Instructions:
- Place the eggs in a single layer in a saucepan or pot. Add enough cold water to cover the eggs by about an inch. Bring the water to a boil over high heat, then reduce the heat to low and simmer the eggs for 10-12 minutes.
- Drain the eggs and transfer them to a bowl of ice water. Let them sit in the water for 5-10 minutes to cool, then gently tap them on a hard surface to crack the shells. Peel the eggs and slice them in half lengthwise.
- Remove the yolks from the eggs and place them in a small bowl. Mash the yolks with a fork or potato masher, then mix in the mayonnaise, mustard, vinegar, salt, and pepper until well combined.
- Spoon or pipe the yolk mixture into the egg white halves. Garnish the eggs with paprika or any other desired toppings. Serve the deviled eggs chilled or at room temperature.
Tips:
- To add flavor to the deviled eggs, you can mix herbs, spices, or sauces into the yolk mixture before filling the eggs. Some popular options include chopped fresh herbs, such as parsley, chives, or dill, or a pinch of cayenne pepper or paprika.
- You can also top the deviled eggs with a variety of garnishes, such as crumbled bacon, chopped nuts, or diced vegetables. Try experimenting with different combinations to find your favorite.
- For a healthier version of this recipe, you can use Greek yogurt or avocado in place of some or all of the mayonnaise.
