Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 large eggs
- 3 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 1 teaspoon yellow mustard
- 1 teaspoon white vinegar
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon paprika (optional, for garnish)
- 1 tablespoon chives (optional, finely chopped, for garnish)
Instructions
Place the eggs in a single layer in a saucepan and add enough cold water to cover them by about 1 inch.
Bring the water to a boil over medium-high heat. Once the water reaches a rolling boil, turn off the heat and cover the saucepan with a lid. Allow the eggs to sit in the hot water for 10 minutes.
After 10 minutes, carefully transfer the eggs to a bowl of ice water using a slotted spoon. Let the eggs cool completely, for about 5-10 minutes.
Gently peel the eggs and slice them in half lengthwise using a sharp knife. Carefully remove the yolks and place them in a medium mixing bowl.
Using a fork, mash the yolks into a fine crumble. Add mayonnaise, yellow mustard, white vinegar, salt, and ground black pepper to the bowl. Mix until the filling is smooth and creamy.
Spoon or pipe the yolk mixture back into the egg whites. Use a piping bag or a resealable plastic bag with one corner snipped for a neater presentation, if desired.
Sprinkle the tops with paprika and garnish with chopped chives, if using.
Refrigerate the deviled eggs for at least 15 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld. Serve chilled and enjoy!
