Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 large eggs
- 1 5-ounce can canned tuna (in water)
- 3 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- 0.5 teaspoons paprika
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Place the eggs in a single layer in a saucepan and cover them with cold water until the water is about 1 inch above the eggs.
Bring the water to a boil over medium-high heat. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and simmer the eggs for 9-10 minutes.
Transfer the eggs to a bowl of ice water and let them cool for at least 5 minutes. Peel the eggs and cut them in half lengthwise.
Carefully scoop out the yolks and place them in a mixing bowl. Arrange the egg white halves on a serving platter.
Drain the canned tuna and flake it using a fork. Add the tuna to the mixing bowl with the yolks.
Add mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, paprika, salt, and black pepper to the mixing bowl. Mash everything together with a fork until smooth and well combined. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
Using a piping bag or a small spoon, fill the hollow centers of the egg whites with the tuna mixture.
Sprinkle with additional paprika and garnish with chopped fresh parsley if desired.
Chill the deviled tuna eggs in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving.
