Mrs. Painter's Deviled Eggs are a timeless party favorite, combining creamy decadence with a zesty kick. This classic recipe features perfectly hard-boiled eggs filled with a velvety mixture of mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, and a splash of vinegar for tangy brightness. A pinch of salt and pepper enhance the flavors, while a sprinkle of paprika and optional fresh chives provide the perfect finishing touch. Ready in just under 30 minutes, these deviled eggs are as elegant as they are simple to make, making them an ideal appetizer for gatherings, potlucks, or holiday spreads. Whether piped for a decorative flair or spooned for a rustic look, these irresistible bites are always a crowd-pleaser.
Place the eggs in a medium-sized pot and cover them with cold water, ensuring the water level is about 1-2 inches above the eggs.
Bring the water to a boil over medium-high heat. Once boiling, cover the pot with a lid, reduce the heat to low, and let the eggs cook for 12 minutes.
After 12 minutes, remove the eggs from the pot and immediately transfer them to a bowl of ice water to cool for 5-10 minutes. This makes peeling easier.
Gently peel the cooled eggs and cut each one in half lengthwise. Carefully scoop out the yolks and place them in a mixing bowl.
Mash the yolks with a fork until crumbly and smooth. Add the mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, vinegar, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until creamy and fully combined.
Spoon or pipe the yolk mixture back into the egg white halves. Use a piping bag for a decorative touch or a small spoon for easier handling.
Sprinkle the tops with paprika, and garnish with chopped chives if desired.
Serve immediately or refrigerate the deviled eggs in an airtight container until ready to serve. Enjoy!
