A nostalgic and creamy deviled egg recipe with a savory filling and a sprinkle of paprika.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 large eggs
  • 3 tablespoons mayonnaise
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Paprika for garnish

Instructions

  1. Boil the eggs in a pot of cold water until water reaches a full boil, cooking them for 9-12 minutes depending on yolk firmness.
  2. Cool the eggs in a bowl of cold water to stop cooking and make peeling easier.
  3. Peel the eggs under running water to help remove the shells, then slice each egg in half lengthwise.
  4. Scoop out the yolks into a mixing bowl, ensuring the egg whites remain intact.
  5. Create the filling by mashing yolks with mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper until smooth.
  6. Fill the egg white halves with the yolk mixture, piping for a professional look if desired.
  7. Garnish the eggs with a sprinkle of paprika for added color and flavor.
  8. Serve chilled for about 30 minutes to allow flavors to meld before enjoying.

Notes

Adjust seasoning and add herbs or bacon for variations. Maintain boil time to avoid greenish yolks.
