Ina Garten’s classic Deviled Eggs recipe offers a simple yet elegant appetizer perfect for any gathering. Creamy and flavorful, these deviled eggs are made with perfectly boiled eggs, a smooth filling of mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, and a hint of vinegar, garnished with paprika and fresh herbs for a delightful bite.

Ingredients

Scale

Eggs

  • 6 large eggs

Filling

  • ¼ cup mayonnaise
  • 1 tsp Dijon mustard
  • 1 tsp white vinegar or lemon juice
  • Salt to taste
  • Black pepper to taste

Garnish

  • Paprika for garnish
  • Chopped chives or parsley (optional)

Instructions

  1. Boil the eggs: Place the 6 large eggs in a saucepan and cover with cold water. Heat the water gently until it reaches a steady boil to ensure even cooking.
  2. Let eggs sit: Turn off the heat, cover the saucepan, and allow the eggs to sit in the hot water for 12 minutes. This method results in perfectly cooked hard-boiled eggs without overcooking.
  3. Cool the eggs: Transfer the eggs to an ice water bath to cool completely, which stops the cooking process and makes peeling easier.
  4. Peel the eggs: Gently tap the eggs and peel them under running water to remove the shells smoothly without damaging the whites.
  5. Prepare the yolks: Slice the eggs lengthwise, carefully remove the yolks into a bowl, and mash them with a fork until fine and crumbly for a smooth filling texture.
  6. Make the filling: Add ¼ cup mayonnaise, 1 tsp Dijon mustard, 1 tsp white vinegar or lemon juice, salt, and black pepper to the mashed yolks. Mix thoroughly until smooth and fluffy to create a creamy filling.
  7. Fill the egg whites: Spoon or pipe the yolk mixture back into the hollowed egg whites for a neat presentation and even distribution.
  8. Garnish and chill: Sprinkle paprika over the filled eggs and add chopped chives or parsley if desired. Chill the deviled eggs in the refrigerator before serving to enhance flavor and texture.

Notes

  • For best results, use eggs that are a few days old, as they peel more easily than very fresh eggs.
  • If piping the filling, use a piping bag with a star tip for an elegant look.
  • You can substitute lemon juice for the vinegar for a slightly different tang.
  • Make deviled eggs up to one day ahead and keep refrigerated covered tightly.
  • Add a pinch of cayenne pepper or hot sauce to the filling for a spicy kick.
