Description
This best deviled eggs recipe is a classic party appetizer that’s perfect for family dinners or easy weeknight meals. The creamy filling and a hint of paprika make these eggs a quick crowd-pleaser everyone will enjoy.
Ingredients
Scale
- 6 large eggs
- 3 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
- kosher salt and ground black pepper to taste
- paprika for garnish
Instructions
- Fill a pot with water and bring to a boil. Lower the heat so the water stops boiling and carefully add the eggs using a skimmer. Turn the heat back up and cook the eggs for 14 minutes.
- While the eggs cook, prepare a bowl of ice water. When done, transfer the eggs into the ice water to cool completely.
- Once cooled, peel the eggs and cut them lengthwise. Remove the yolks with a small spoon and place the whites on a plate.
- Mash the yolks and combine with mayonnaise, mustard, vinegar, salt, and pepper until smooth. Use a mixer for extra fluffiness if desired.
- Spoon the yolk mixture back into the egg whites’ hollowed centers and sprinkle with paprika before serving.
Notes
- Make sure to watch my video above for a tip on easily removing the egg yolk from the white
- You can also use a piping bag to make the yolk mixture prettier if you’d like
- I do recommend Dijon mustard rather than yellow mustard for more flavor
- This Dijon mustard is also Whole30 compliant, if you’re doing a Whole30
- Please watch the measurements on the vinegar as well, some people have accidentally added 1 tablespoon of vinegar, but it’s 1 teaspoon of vinegar
- If you’re not a fan of vinegar, you can use pickle juice as well
- If you’re in need of a platter to display your deviled eggs, this ceramic one is my favorite
- And if you’re transporting them, this travel carrier is great
- Storage tip: Store deviled eggs in an airtight container in the fridge for 2 to 3 days
- Make-ahead tip: Boil and peel the eggs up to 3 days in advance, and make the filling up to 2 days in advance
- Keep the two separate until serving, then pipe or spoon the filling into the egg whites when ready to serve
- If you have leftover hard-boiled eggs, you can make egg salad the next day!
