This classic deviled eggs recipe delivers creamy, tangy, and perfectly seasoned bites perfect for any occasion. Boiled eggs are carefully peeled and halved, with yolks whipped together with mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, and apple cider vinegar to create a smooth, fluffy filling. Garnished with a hint of paprika, these deviled eggs are simple, elegant, and irresistibly delicious.

Ingredients

Eggs

  • 6 large eggs

Filling

  • 3 tablespoons mayonnaise
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
  • Kosher salt, to taste
  • Ground black pepper, to taste

Garnish

  • Paprika, for garnish

Instructions

  1. Boil Eggs: Bring a pot of water to a boil. Then reduce the heat to low or turn off the heat so the water is no longer boiling or bubbling. Use a skimmer to gently place the eggs into the water. Increase the heat back to high and set a timer for 14 minutes to cook the eggs thoroughly.
  2. Cool Eggs: Prepare an ice water bath while the eggs are boiling. Once the 14 minutes are up, carefully remove the eggs from the hot water and immediately place them into the ice water bath to stop cooking and make peeling easier.
  3. Slice in Half: After the eggs have cooled completely, peel off the shells. Slice each egg in half lengthwise. Using a small spoon, gently remove the yolks into a mixing bowl, and place the egg whites on a serving plate.
  4. Stir Ingredients: Mash the yolks with a fork until crumbly. Add mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, apple cider vinegar, salt, and pepper. Stir or whisk until the mixture is smooth and creamy. For extra smooth and fluffy texture, use a hand mixer to blend the filling.
  5. Add Mixture: Spoon or pipe the yolk mixture back into the hollowed egg white halves evenly. Make sure each half has a good portion of creamy filling.
  6. Serve: Sprinkle a pinch of paprika over the filled eggs for a touch of color and subtle smoky flavor. Serve immediately or refrigerate until ready to enjoy.

Notes

  • Use fresh eggs for the best flavor, but older eggs peel more easily after boiling.
  • Adjust the amount of mayonnaise and mustard to your preferred creaminess and tanginess.
  • Sprinkling paprika adds both color and subtle flavor, but you can also use chopped chives or dill as garnish.
  • For a decorative touch, use a piping bag with a star tip to fill the eggs.
  • Deviled eggs are best consumed within 2 days if refrigerated properly.
