Elevate your appetizer game with "The Real Deal Deviled Eggs," a timeless recipe packed with bold flavor and irresistible creamy texture. Perfectly cooked large eggs serve as the base for a velvety filling made from a harmonious blend of mayonnaise, tangy yellow mustard, apple cider vinegar, and just a touch of sugar to strike the ideal balance of savory and sweet. Finished with a sprinkle of paprika and optional fresh chives for a pop of color and flavor, these deviled eggs are as visually stunning as they are delicious. Ready in just 25 minutes, this classic dish is perfect for entertaining or as a quick snack, delivering all the crowd-pleasing appeal with minimal effort.
Place the eggs in a single layer in a medium-sized saucepan and cover them with water, about 1 inch above the eggs.
Bring the water to a gentle boil over medium-high heat. Once boiling, cover the pan, turn off the heat, and let the eggs sit for 10 minutes.
While the eggs cook, prepare an ice water bath in a large bowl. After the 10 minutes are up, transfer the eggs to the ice water to cool for at least 5 minutes.
Carefully peel the eggs and slice them in half lengthwise. Gently remove the yolks and place them in a medium bowl, setting the egg whites aside on a platter.
Mash the yolks with a fork until they are crumbly and smooth. Add mayonnaise, yellow mustard, apple cider vinegar, sugar, salt, and black pepper, mixing until the consistency is creamy and well-combined.
Spoon the yolk mixture back into the egg white halves, or use a piping bag with a star tip for a more decorative look.
Sprinkle the filled eggs with paprika and, if desired, garnish with freshly chopped chives for extra flavor and presentation.
Serve immediately, or refrigerate the deviled eggs for up to 4 hours before serving for enhanced flavor.
