  • Total Time: 30 minutes
  • Yield: 12 deviled eggs

Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 large eggs
  • 1/4 cup Mayonnaise
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 teaspoon Apple cider vinegar (or lemon juice)
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
  • Paprika for garnish
  • Fresh chives or dill for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Place eggs in a single layer in a saucepan, cover with cold water, and bring to a boil. Once boiling, cover, remove from heat, and let sit for 10-12 minutes. Transfer to an ice bath to cool completely.
  2. Peel the cooled eggs under cold running water. Slice each egg in half lengthwise and carefully remove the yolks into a mixing bowl.
  3. Mash the yolks with a fork until smooth. Mix in mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, and apple cider vinegar until well combined. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  4. Using a spoon, piping bag, or plastic sandwich bag with the tip cut off, fill the egg white halves with the yolk mixture. Pipe or spoon the filling evenly into each egg white.
  5. Garnish with paprika and chopped chives or dill. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving to enhance flavor and presentation.

Notes

  • Use fresh eggs for best peeling and flavor.
  • Chill the filled eggs before serving for optimal taste and appearance.
  • Feel free to add variations like hot sauce, pickles, or bacon to customize your deviled eggs.
