Classic Deviled Eggs
These classic deviled eggs are simple to prepare and offer a burst of flavor in every bite. Let’s get started with what you’ll need:
### Ingredients:
- 6 large eggs
- 3 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon white vinegar
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Paprika for garnish
- Fresh chives or parsley for garnish (optional)
Instructions:
- Start by boiling the eggs. Place them in a pot and cover them with water. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce the heat to low and cover the pot. Let the eggs sit for about 10 to 12 minutes.
- Once done, transfer the eggs to a bowl of ice water to cool them down quickly. This makes peeling easier! Let them sit for at least 5 minutes.
- Peel the cooled eggs under running water to help remove the shells easily. Cut the eggs in half lengthwise and gently scoop out the yolks into a mixing bowl.
- Add the mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, white vinegar, salt, and pepper to the yolks. Mash everything together with a fork until smooth and creamy.
- Carefully spoon or pipe the yolk mixture back into the egg whites. You can use a piping bag or a ziplock bag with the corner cut off for a more decorative look.
- Sprinkle with paprika for a hint of color and flavor. For an extra touch of elegance, you can garnish with fresh chives or parsley as well.
- Serve chilled or at room temperature, and watch them disappear!
Enjoy these delightful classic deviled eggs at your next gathering. They’re not just delicious, but also easy to customize with your favorite ingredients. Whether you like a bit of spice or a hint of sweetness, deviled eggs can be adapted to suit any palate!
