A creamy, tangy, and slightly spicy deviled eggs recipe that is perfect for Thanksgiving gatherings and sure to be a crowd-pleaser.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 large eggs
  • 3 tablespoons mayonnaise
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 teaspoon white vinegar
  • Salt to taste
  • Black pepper to taste
  • Paprika for garnish
  • Chives or parsley for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Place the eggs in a medium saucepan and cover with cold water. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce the heat and simmer for 9 minutes.
  2. Remove the eggs from the boiling water and transfer them to a bowl of ice water. Let them sit for at least 5 minutes to cool completely.
  3. Gently tap each egg on a hard surface and peel the shell starting from the wider end. Rinse under cold water to remove any stubborn bits of shell.
  4. Cut each egg in half lengthwise. Carefully scoop out the yolks and place them in a small mixing bowl. Arrange the egg whites on your serving platter.
  5. Mash the egg yolks with a fork until smooth. Add mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, white vinegar, salt, and black pepper. Mix until creamy.
  6. Taste the filling and adjust the seasoning if needed. Add more vinegar or mustard for extra tang, or more mayonnaise for a richer filling.
  7. Spoon the filling into a pastry bag or zip-top bag and pipe it into the egg whites. Alternatively, spoon the filling directly into the egg whites for a rustic look.
  8. Sprinkle paprika on top of each egg and add chopped chives or parsley for garnish.
  9. Cover the eggs with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving.

Notes

[‘Use slightly older eggs for easier peeling.’, ‘Cool eggs in an ice bath to make peeling simpler.’, ‘Mash yolks thoroughly to avoid lumps in the filling.’, ‘Use a star-shaped piping tip for a fancy presentation.’, ‘Chill the eggs before serving to enhance flavor.’]
