Classic Deviled Eggs are a timeless appetizer featuring perfectly boiled eggs filled with a creamy, tangy yolk mixture made from mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, and apple cider vinegar, seasoned with salt and pepper, and garnished with a sprinkle of paprika for an added touch of flavor and color.

Ingredients

Scale

Eggs

  • 6 large eggs

Filling

  • 3 tablespoons mayonnaise
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
  • Kosher salt, to taste
  • Ground black pepper, to taste

Garnish

  • Paprika, for garnish

Instructions

  1. Boil the Eggs: Place the eggs in a single layer in a saucepan and cover them with water by about an inch. Bring the water to a rolling boil over medium-high heat.
  2. Cook the Eggs: Once boiling, cover the saucepan, remove it from heat, and let the eggs sit for 10-12 minutes to cook through.
  3. Cool and Peel: Drain the hot water and place the eggs in a bowl of ice water to cool for at least 5 minutes. Peel the eggs carefully once cool.
  4. Prepare the Filling: Slice each egg in half lengthwise and gently remove the yolks to a bowl. Mash the yolks with mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, apple cider vinegar, salt, and pepper until smooth and creamy.
  5. Fill the Eggs: Spoon or pipe the yolk mixture back into the egg white halves evenly.
  6. Garnish and Serve: Lightly sprinkle the deviled eggs with paprika for color and a mild smoky flavor before serving.

Notes

  • For easier peeling, use eggs that are a few days old rather than fresh eggs.
  • You can substitute Dijon mustard with yellow mustard if preferred.
  • Adjust mayonnaise quantity to achieve desired creaminess.
  • Serve chilled for the best flavor and texture.
  • Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
