Deviled Eggs Recipe

Deviled Eggs Directions

1. 1

   Boil the Eggs

   Place the large eggs in a saucepan and cover them with cold water. Bring the water to a boil over medium-high heat.

2. 2

   Simmer

   Once the water reaches a rolling boil, cover the saucepan with a lid and remove it from heat. Let the eggs sit in the hot water for 12-14 minutes.

3. 3

   Cool the Eggs

   After the time has elapsed, carefully drain the hot water and transfer the eggs to a bowl of ice water. Allow them to cool for at least 5 minutes.

4. 4

   Peel the Eggs

   Once cooled, gently tap the eggs on a hard surface and peel off the shells. Rinse the eggs under cold water to remove any shell fragments.

5. 5

   Prepare the Filling

   Slice the peeled eggs in half lengthwise. Remove the yolks and place them in a mixing bowl. Add the mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, white vinegar, salt, and black pepper to the yolks.

6. 6

   Mix the Filling

   Using a fork, mash the yolk mixture until smooth and well combined. If desired, fold in the optional bacon bits for added flavor.

7. 7

   Fill the Egg Whites

   Spoon or pipe the yolk mixture back into the hollowed-out egg whites. Be generous and mound the filling slightly for an appealing presentation.

8. 8

   Garnish

   Sprinkle paprika over the filled eggs for color and flavor. If using, add chives on top for garnish.

9. 9

   Serve

   Arrange the deviled eggs on a platter, serve chilled, and enjoy!
