Classic Deviled Eggs

Deviled eggs are a popular appetizer, known for their smooth and flavorful filling. This recipe combines boiled egg yolks with a blend of mayonnaise and mustard, creating a delightful mixture that’s carefully piped back into the egg whites. A dash of paprika not only enhances the flavor but also adds a vibrant touch to these delectable bites. Ideal for social gatherings, these deviled eggs promise to deliver both taste and presentation.

Ingredients

• 6 large eggs, whole
• 1/4 cup mayonnaise
• 1 Tbsp yellow mustard
• 1/8 tsp salt
• 1/8 tsp black pepper
• 1/4 tsp paprika

Instructions

1. Place eggs in a saucepan and cover with enough water to submerge them. Bring the water to a boil, then turn off the heat and let the eggs sit in the hot water for 12 minutes. Afterward, transfer the eggs to an ice bath to cool.
2. Once cooled, peel the eggs and slice them in half lengthwise. Gently remove the yolks and transfer them to a mixing bowl.
3. In the mixing bowl, use a fork to mash the egg yolks with mayonnaise and mustard until the mixture is smooth and creamy. Season the mixture with salt and black pepper.
4. Using a spoon or a piping bag, fill the egg white halves with the yolk mixture. Ensure the mixture is evenly distributed among all the egg halves.
5. Dust the filled egg halves with paprika for added flavor and color. Refrigerate the deviled eggs for at least one hour before serving to enhance their flavor.
