Southern Style Deviled Eggs
These creamy, zesty deviled eggs are sure to be a hit. With the right mix of ingredients, each bite is bursting with flavor. Here’s how to make them:
### Ingredients:
- 6 large eggs
- 1/4 cup mayonnaise
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon white vinegar
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1/4 teaspoon paprika (plus more for garnish)
- 2 teaspoons chopped fresh chives (optional)
Instructions:
- Start by hard-boiling the eggs. Place the eggs in a pot and cover them with cold water. Bring the water to a boil over medium-high heat. Once boiling, cover the pot and remove it from heat. Let the eggs sit for about 12 minutes.
- After 12 minutes, carefully transfer the eggs to an ice bath to cool them for at least 5 minutes. This will make peeling the eggs easier.
- Peel the eggs and slice them in half lengthwise. Gently remove the yolks and place them in a mixing bowl. Set the egg whites aside.
- Add the mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, white vinegar, salt, pepper, and paprika to the bowl with the egg yolks. Mash the mixture with a fork until smooth and creamy. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
- Using a spoon or a piping bag, fill the egg white halves with the yolk mixture. Be generous! You want each bite to be packed with flavor.
- Sprinkle a little paprika on top for color and garnish with fresh chives if desired.
- Serve chilled and watch them disappear!
