Deviled Eggs Recipe

Every good gathering needs a plate of deviled eggs. They showed up at church suppers, family picnics, holiday tables, and Sunday lunches for good reason. Simple ingredients, careful cooking, and a little patience turn ordinary eggs into something special.

These creamy deviled eggs are easy to make and always welcomed. The filling is smooth and lightly tangy, and a sprinkle of paprika gives them that familiar finishing touch many of us remember from grandmother’s table.

Servings: 6 servings (2 deviled eggs each)
Prep Time: 20 minutes
Cook Time: 15 minutes
Total Time: 35 minutes

Ingredients

• 6 large eggs
• 3 tablespoons mayonnaise
• 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
• 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
• Kosher salt, to taste
• Ground black pepper, to taste
• Paprika, for garnish

Directions

1. Boil the eggs
   Bring a pot of water to a steady boil. Lower the heat so the water is calm and not bubbling. Carefully place the eggs into the pot using a skimmer. Turn the heat back up and cook for 14 minutes.
2. Cool the eggs
   While the eggs cook, prepare a bowl filled with ice and water. When time is up, move the eggs straight into the ice bath. Let them cool completely.
3. Peel and slice
   Gently tap each egg and peel away the shell. Slice the eggs in half lengthwise. Lift out the yolks with a small spoon and place them in a mixing bowl. Arrange the whites neatly on a serving plate.
4. Prepare the filling
   Mash the yolks well with a fork. Add mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, apple cider vinegar, salt, and pepper. Stir until the mixture is creamy and smooth. If you like a lighter filling, beat it briefly with a hand mixer.
5. Fill the eggs
   Spoon the filling back into each egg white. Smooth the tops or give them a small swirl. Sprinkle paprika lightly over each egg.
