Classic Deviled Eggs Recipe

Preparation Steps

1. 1

   Boil the Eggs

   Place the eggs in a saucepan and cover them with cold water. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Once boiling, cover the pan and remove it from heat. Let the eggs sit for 12 minutes.

2. 2

   Cool the Eggs

   After 12 minutes, transfer the eggs to a bowl of ice water and let them cool for about 5 minutes to stop the cooking process.

3. 3

   Peel the Eggs

   Once cooled, gently tap the eggs on a hard surface and peel the shells under running water to help remove them easily.

4. 4

   Prepare the Filling

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

5. 5

   Fill the Egg Whites

   Spoon or pipe the yolk mixture back into the egg white halves.

6. 6

   Garnish and Serve

   Sprinkle paprika over the filled eggs and garnish with chives or parsley if desired. Serve immediately or refrigerate until ready to serve.
