Equipment
- Medium pot
- Mixing Bowls
Ingredients
- 6 large eggs
- 1 tablespoon vinegar divided
- 3 tablespoon mayonnaise
- 1½ teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 2 teaspoon salt plus more to taste
- Ground black pepper
- Paprika for garnishing
Instructions
- Place the eggs in a pot with two teaspoons of salt and two teaspoons of vinegar, then fill with enough water until the eggs are covered by 1 to 2 inches. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Once boiling, set a timer for 7 minutes.
- While the eggs are boiling, fill a large bowl with ice and cold water. Once the timer goes off, immediately transfer the eggs to the ice bath to cool completely, about 10 minutes.
- Peel the eggs and cut each boiled egg in half lengthwise.
- Carefully remove the yolks and place them in a medium bowl. Add the mayo, mustard, and remaining 1 teaspoon of vinegar, and mash together with a fork until smooth. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
- Spoon the filling into the cooked egg whites or transfer to a piping bag with a star tip and pipe into the center of each egg white. Garnish with paprika and serve immediately or refrigerate for a few hours before serving.
Notes
- Remove the egg yolks carefully. After the egg is peeled and cut in half, carefully scoop out the yolk with a small spoon. A smaller utensil without a sharp edge is ideal, as it’s easy to break through the egg white when removing the yolk.
- Assemble shortly before serving. Deviled eggs are best freshly prepared. You can hold the egg whites and the filling separately in the fridge for up to 1 day, but once assembled, serve them within a few hours for the best texture and flavor.
- You can vary which type of vinegar you use. Apple cider, white wine, or even red wine vinegar all work well. Vinegar gives the filling brightness, so don’t skip it; use one you have on hand. If you don’t have vinegar, substitute it with fresh lemon juice!
