Eggcellent Classic Deviled Eggs Recipe
Ingredients
- 6 large eggs
- 3 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
- 1 Prise salt
- 1 Prise freshly ground black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh chives
Instructions
- Boil the Eggs: Place the eggs in a single layer in a saucepan. Cover them with cold water, ensuring there is about an inch of water above the eggs. Bring the water to a boil over medium-high heat. Once boiling, cover the pot, remove it from the heat, and let it sit for 12 minutes.
- Cool the Eggs: After 12 minutes, transfer the eggs to an ice water bath to stop the cooking process. Let them sit for at least 5 minutes.
- Peel the Eggs: Carefully peel the eggs under running water to make it easier. Pat them dry with a paper towel.
- Cut and Scoop: Slice each egg in half lengthwise. Gently remove the yolks and place them in a mixing bowl while placing the egg whites on a serving platter.
- Prepare the Filling: Mash the yolks with a fork. Add the mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, apple cider vinegar, salt, pepper, and smoked paprika. Mix until smooth and creamy. Adjust seasoning to taste.
- Fill the Egg Whites: Use a spoon or a piping bag to fill the hollowed egg whites with the yolk mixture.
- Garnish: Sprinkle the tops with additional smoked paprika and garnish with finely chopped chives.
- Serve: Chill in the fridge for at least 15 minutes before serving for a refreshing taste.
