How to Make Deviled Eggs 🥚
Deviled eggs are a classic appetizer that’s always a hit at parties and gatherings. Here’s how to make them:
Ingredients:
- 6 large hard-boiled eggs, peeled
- 3 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon white vinegar
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Paprika for garnish
- Optional: finely chopped chives or parsley for garnish
Steps:
1. Slice the hard-boiled eggs in half lengthwise. Carefully remove the yolks and place them in a bowl. Set the egg whites aside on a serving platter.
2. Mash the yolks with a fork until they are finely crumbled.
3. Add the mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, and white vinegar to the mashed yolks. Mix until smooth. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
4. Spoon or pipe the yolk mixture back into the hollowed-out egg whites. For a more polished look, you can use a piping bag with a star tip.
5. Sprinkle paprika over the filled eggs for a touch of color and flavor. You can also garnish with finely chopped chives or parsley if desired.
6. Refrigerate the deviled eggs for at least 20 minutes before serving to let the flavors meld and to keep them cool.
Tips for Perfect Deviled Eggs:
1. Use fresh eggs for better flavor but slightly older eggs for easier peeling.
2. For a creamier filling, you can add a little more mayonnaise.
3. Experiment with different seasonings and mix-ins, such as hot sauce, pickle relish, or smoked paprika.
Serve your deviled eggs chilled and enjoy! 🍳
