Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 large eggs
- 3 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- 0.5 teaspoon lemon zest
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon paprika
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley (for garnish)
Instructions
Place the eggs in a single layer in a saucepan and cover them with water by about 1 inch.
Bring the water to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce the heat to low and let the eggs simmer gently for 10-12 minutes.
Remove the eggs from the hot water and transfer them to a bowl of ice water. Let them cool for at least 5 minutes.
Gently peel the eggs and slice them in half lengthwise. Carefully scoop out the yolks and place them in a mixing bowl.
Set the egg white halves on a serving platter and set aside.
Mash the yolks with a fork until they are crumbly, then add the mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, lemon zest, salt, and black pepper. Mix until smooth and creamy.
Spoon or pipe the yolk mixture back into the egg white halves, dividing it evenly among them.
Sprinkle each deviled egg with a pinch of paprika for color and garnish with chopped fresh parsley.
Serve immediately or refrigerate until ready to serve.
