Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 large eggs
- 3 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 1 cup sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 0.5 teaspoons paprika
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons ground black pepper
- 1 tablespoon fresh chives, chopped (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Place the eggs in a single layer in a medium-sized saucepan. Cover the eggs with cold water, ensuring the water level is about 1 inch above the eggs.
Bring the water to a rolling boil over medium-high heat. Once boiling, remove the saucepan from the heat, cover it with a lid, and let the eggs sit for 10-12 minutes.
Carefully transfer the eggs to a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process. Let the eggs cool for at least 5 minutes.
Peel the eggs under running water for easier shell removal. Gently dry them with a paper towel and slice each egg lengthwise in half.
Scoop the yolks out of the egg halves using a small spoon and transfer them to a mixing bowl. Arrange the egg white halves on a serving platter.
Mash the yolks in the mixing bowl using a fork until they form a crumbly consistency.
Add mayonnaise, shredded sharp cheddar cheese, Dijon mustard, paprika, salt, and black pepper to the mashed yolks. Mix well until smooth and creamy.
Transfer the yolk mixture to a piping bag fitted with a star tip or use a small spoon to fill each egg white half with the cheesy filling.
Sprinkle a pinch of paprika over the filled eggs for garnish. Optionally, add chopped fresh chives for a pop of color and extra flavor.
Refrigerate the deviled eggs for at least 15 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld. Serve chilled and enjoy!
