Ingredients

Scale

Gather these ingredients to make your Perfect Deviled Eggs:

  • 6 large eggs
  • ¼ cup mayonnaise
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 teaspoon white wine vinegar
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • Paprika, for garnish
  • Fresh herbs (parsley, chives, or dill), for garnish
  • Optional: 2 slices cooked bacon, crumbled, for topping
  • Optional: 1 teaspoon capers or pickles, finely chopped, for garnish

Instructions

Prepare the Eggs:

  1. Hard Boil the Eggs: Place the eggs in a single layer in a saucepan and cover with cold water. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Once boiling, cover the pot, remove from heat, and let the eggs sit for 10-12 minutes.
  2. Cool and Peel the Eggs: After the eggs have cooked, transfer them to a bowl of ice water or run them under cold water to stop the cooking process. Once cooled, peel the eggs and cut them in half lengthwise.

Prepare the Filling:

  1. Remove the Yolks: Gently remove the yolks from the egg halves and place them in a medium bowl. Set the egg whites aside on a platter.
  2. Mash the Yolks: Mash the yolks with a fork until smooth.
  3. Make the Filling: Add mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, white wine vinegar, salt, and pepper to the mashed yolks. Stir until smooth and well combined. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.

Assemble the Deviled Eggs:

  1. Fill the Egg Whites: Spoon or pipe the yolk mixture into the hollowed-out egg whites. You can use a piping bag with a decorative tip for a professional look or simply use a spoon for a more rustic presentation.
  2. Garnish the Eggs: Sprinkle the filled eggs with paprika for color and a hint of smokiness. Top with fresh herbs such as parsley, chives, or dill. For extra flair, add crumbled bacon or a small caper for garnish.
