A simple recipe for classic deviled eggs, perfect for parties and potlucks. These crowd-pleasing appetizers feature a creamy, tangy filling topped with paprika.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 12 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 1 tablespoon yellow mustard
  • 1 teaspoon white vinegar
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste
  • Paprika, for garnish

Instructions

  1. Place eggs in a saucepan and cover with cold water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 10 minutes. Drain and rinse with cold water.
  2. Peel the eggs and slice them in half lengthwise. Remove the yolks and place them in a small bowl.
  3. Arrange the egg whites on a serving platter.
  4. Mash the egg yolks with a fork until smooth.
  5. Add mayonnaise, mustard, and vinegar to the mashed yolks. Mix until well combined and creamy.
  6. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  7. Spoon or pipe the yolk mixture back into the egg white halves.
  8. Garnish with a sprinkle of paprika.

Notes

  • For a smoother filling, you can press the egg yolks through a sieve before mixing.
  • You can make the yolk filling a day ahead and store it in the refrigerator. Fill the egg whites just before serving to prevent them from drying out.
  • To transport, place the filled deviled eggs in a single layer in a container with a lid. You can use a deviled egg carrier for best results.
