  • Calories: Approximately 70-100 calories per serving (2 halves)
  • Protein: Around 5-7 grams per serving
  • Carbohydrates: Approximately 1-2 grams per serving
  • Fat: Around 5-7 grams per serving

INGREDIENTS

  • 6 large eggs
  • 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • 1/2 teaspoon white vinegar
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • Paprika or chopped fresh herbs for garnish (optional)

INSTRUCTIONS

  1. Place the eggs in a saucepan and add enough water to cover them. Bring the water to a boil over medium-high heat.

  2. Once the water is boiling, reduce the heat to low and let the eggs simmer for about 9-12 minutes.

  3. Remove the eggs from the saucepan and immediately transfer them to a bowl of ice water to cool and stop the cooking process.

  4. Once the eggs are cool, gently tap them on a hard surface to crack the shell. Peel the eggs under cool running water to make peeling easier.

  5. Cut the eggs in half lengthwise and carefully remove the yolks. Place the yolks in a separate bowl and set the egg white halves aside.

  6. Mash the egg yolks with a fork until they are crumbled into small pieces.

  7. Add the mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, white vinegar, salt, and pepper to the mashed yolks. Mix until the filling is smooth and creamy.

  8. Using a spoon or a piping bag, fill each egg white half with the yolk mixture.

  9. Optional: Sprinkle the deviled eggs with a pinch of paprika or garnish with chopped fresh herbs like chives or parsley for added flavor and presentation.

  10. Arrange the deviled eggs on a serving platter and refrigerate until ready to serve.

TIPS

  1. To make perfect hard-boiled eggs, you can add a pinch of salt or a teaspoon of vinegar to the boiling water. This can help prevent the eggs from cracking and make them easier to peel.
  2. Customize the filling by adding other ingredients like finely chopped pickles, chives, dill, or a dash of hot sauce for some heat.
  3. To make the filling creamier, you can use a handheld mixer or a food processor to blend the egg yolks and other ingredients together.
  4. If you want to be creative with presentation, you can use a star-shaped piping tip to pipe the yolk mixture into the egg white halves.
  5. Deviled eggs can be made ahead of time and refrigerated until serving. However, for the best texture and flavor, it’s recommended to consume them within 24 hours of making.
  6. Feel free to adjust the amount of mayonnaise and mustard to suit your taste preferences. Some people prefer a creamier filling, while others may prefer a more tangy or mustard-forward flavor.
