Make the ultimate crowd-pleasing classic deviled eggs. This recipe delivers a perfectly smooth, tangy yolk filling every time, making it a staple for holidays, potlucks, and parties.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 12 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
  • 1 teaspoon white vinegar
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • Paprika, for garnish
  • Optional: Chopped chives, 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 to stop the cooking process. Let them cool completely, about 10 minutes.
  4. Peel the cooled eggs and slice them in half lengthwise. Gently scoop the yolks into a medium bowl. Place the egg white halves on a serving platter.
  5. Mash the yolks with a fork until they are fine and crumbly.
  6. Add the mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, white vinegar, salt, and pepper to the mashed yolks. Mix well until the filling is completely smooth and creamy.
  7. Spoon or pipe the yolk mixture back into the egg white halves. For a professional look, use a piping bag fitted with a star tip.
  8. Garnish each deviled egg with a light sprinkle of paprika and optional chopped chives.
  9. Chill the deviled eggs for at least 30 minutes before serving for the best flavor and texture.

Notes

  • To prevent gray rings around the yolk, make sure you cool the eggs quickly in an ice bath immediately after boiling.
  • For an extra tangy flavor, substitute a small amount of the mayonnaise with sweet pickle relish or a dash of hot sauce.
  • You can make the yolk mixture one day ahead. Store it covered in the refrigerator and fill the egg whites just before serving.
