Make perfect, creamy deviled eggs with this simple recipe. This guide focuses on achieving a smooth filling ideal for any gathering.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 12 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 2 tablespoons yellow mustard
  • 1 tablespoon white vinegar
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • Pinch of paprika for garnish

Instructions

  1. Place eggs in a saucepan and cover with cold water. Bring water to a rolling boil over high heat.
  2. Once boiling, remove the pan from the heat, cover it, and let the eggs stand for 12 minutes.
  3. Immediately transfer the eggs to an ice bath (a bowl of ice water) and let them cool completely, about 10 minutes.
  4. Peel the cooled eggs. Slice each egg in half lengthwise.
  5. Carefully scoop the yolks into a medium bowl. Place the egg white halves on a serving platter.
  6. Mash the yolks with a fork until fine. Add the mayonnaise, mustard, vinegar, salt, and pepper. Mix until the filling is completely smooth and creamy.
  7. Spoon or pipe the yolk mixture back into the egg white halves.
  8. Sprinkle the tops of the filled eggs with paprika before serving.

Notes

  • For easier peeling, gently crack the shell all over and peel under cool running water.
  • If you prefer a tangier filling, add 1/2 teaspoon of sweet pickle relish to the yolk mixture.
  • Chill the finished deviled eggs for at least 30 minutes before serving for the best flavor and texture.
