This is a reliable recipe for perfectly creamy and tangy deviled eggs, a classic appetizer that is simple to make for any gathering.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 12 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 2 tablespoons yellow mustard
  • 1 tablespoon white vinegar
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • Paprika, for garnish

Instructions

  1. Place eggs in a large saucepan and cover with cold water by about one inch. Bring the water to a rolling boil over high heat.
  2. Once boiling, immediately remove the pan from the heat, cover it, and let the eggs stand for exactly 12 minutes.
  3. Prepare an ice bath by filling a large bowl with ice and cold water.
  4. Drain the hot water from the eggs and immediately transfer the eggs to the ice bath. Let them cool completely, about 15 minutes.
  5. Peel the cooled eggs. Slice each egg in half lengthwise.
  6. Carefully scoop the yolks into a medium bowl. Place the egg white halves on a serving platter.
  7. Mash the yolks thoroughly with a fork until smooth.
  8. Add the mayonnaise, yellow mustard, white vinegar, salt, and black pepper to the mashed yolks. Mix until the filling is completely smooth and creamy.
  9. Spoon or pipe the yolk mixture back into the hollows of the egg white halves.
  10. Sprinkle paprika over the top of each deviled egg before serving.

Notes

  • For easy peeling, make sure your eggs are not too fresh; slightly older eggs peel better.
  • To achieve a smooth filling, press the mashed yolks through a fine-mesh sieve before mixing in the other ingredients.
  • You can use a piping bag fitted with a star tip for a professional look when filling the egg whites.
