Make the best classic deviled eggs that are creamy and flavorful for your next party. This easy recipe guarantees a crowd-pleasing appetizer perfect for holidays or potlucks.

Ingredients

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

Instructions

  1. Place eggs in a saucepan and cover with cold water. Bring water to a boil over high heat. Once boiling, remove the pan from the heat, cover it, and let the eggs stand for 12 minutes.
  2. Immediately transfer the eggs to an ice bath to stop the cooking process. Let them cool completely, about 15 minutes.
  3. Peel the cooled eggs. Slice each egg in half lengthwise. Gently scoop the yolks into a medium bowl.
  4. Place the empty egg white halves on a serving platter.
  5. Mash the egg yolks thoroughly with a fork until they are fine crumbs.
  6. Add the mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, white vinegar, salt, and pepper to the mashed yolks. Mix until the filling is completely smooth and creamy.
  7. Spoon or pipe the yolk mixture back into the egg white halves. For easy filling, use a piping bag or a zip-top bag with the corner snipped off.
  8. Sprinkle the tops of the filled eggs with paprika before serving.

Notes

  • For easier peeling, use slightly older eggs rather than very fresh ones.
  • If you want a tangier flavor, add 1/2 teaspoon of pickle relish or a dash of hot sauce to the yolk mixture.
  • You can make the filling up to 24 hours ahead. Store it covered in the refrigerator, then fill the egg whites just before serving.
