Classic Holiday Deviled Eggs featuring creamy, tangy yolk filling topped with paprika and fresh herbs, perfect for festive gatherings.

Ingredients

Scale

Eggs

  • 6 large eggs

Filling

  • 1/4 cup mayonnaise
  • 1 tsp Dijon mustard
  • Salt to taste
  • Pepper to taste

Garnish

  • Paprika for garnish
  • Fresh herbs (chives or dill) for garnish

Instructions

  1. Boil Eggs: Place the eggs in a pot and cover with cold water. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Once boiling, remove the pot from heat, cover, and let the eggs sit for 12-15 minutes to cook through gently.
  2. Cool and Peel: Transfer the eggs to an ice bath to cool completely, which helps stop the cooking process and makes peeling easier. Peel the eggs carefully under running water to remove shells cleanly.
  3. Prepare Filling: Slice the peeled eggs in half lengthwise and gently scoop out the yolks into a mixing bowl. Mash the yolks and combine with mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
  4. Assemble Deviled Eggs: Using a piping bag or spoon, fill the hollowed egg white halves with the yolk mixture evenly and neatly.
  5. Garnish and Serve: Sprinkle the tops with paprika and add fresh chopped herbs such as chives or dill for a burst of color and flavor. Refrigerate and serve chilled for best taste.

Notes

  • For easier peeling, use eggs that are at least a few days old.
  • Customize the filling by adding a dash of hot sauce or relish for extra flavor.
  • Deviled eggs can be prepared a day ahead and stored in the refrigerator covered tightly.
  • Use a piping bag with a star tip for an attractive presentation.
  • This recipe is naturally gluten-free and suitable for most diets excluding vegan and strict plant-based.
