Step-by-Step Instructions
Step 1: Hard-Boil the Eggs
Place the eggs in a single layer in a saucepan and cover with cold water by about 1 inch.
Bring the water to a boil over medium-high heat, then turn off the heat, cover the pan, and let the eggs sit for 9–12 minutes (depending on how firm you like the yolks).
Transfer the eggs to an ice bath or run them under cold water to stop the cooking process. Peel the eggs carefully.
Step 2: Prepare the Filling
Slice the eggs in half lengthwise and gently scoop out the yolks into a mixing bowl. Set the whites aside.
Mash the yolks with a fork until crumbly.
Add the mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, white wine vinegar, salt, and pepper to the bowl. Mix until smooth and creamy. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
Step 3: Fill the Egg Whites
Spoon the yolk mixture into a piping bag fitted with a star tip (or use a zip-top bag with the corner snipped off) for a polished look. Pipe the filling into the egg white halves.
Alternatively, use a spoon to fill the whites for a rustic presentation.
Step 4: Garnish
Dust the tops of the deviled eggs with paprika for color and flavor.
Sprinkle with chopped chives or add optional garnishes like crumbled bacon or a drizzle of hot sauce for extra flair.
Step 5: Serve
Arrange the deviled eggs on a platter and serve chilled.
Why This Recipe Works
Mayonnaise Magic : Adds creaminess and richness to the filling, ensuring a velvety texture.
Dijon Mustard Tang : Provides a subtle sharpness that balances the richness of the yolks.
White Wine Vinegar : Adds brightness and enhances the overall flavor profile.
Variations to Try
Bacon & Cheddar : Stir in crumbled cooked bacon and shredded cheddar cheese for a hearty twist.
Spicy Kick : Add a dash of hot sauce or cayenne pepper to the filling for heat.
Herbaceous Touch : Mix in fresh herbs like dill, parsley, or chives for added freshness.
Gluten-Free Option : Naturally gluten-free—no substitutions needed!
Vegan Version : Use vegan mayo and chickpeas blended with mustard to mimic the filling.
Tips for Success
Perfect Hard-Boiled Eggs : Avoid overcooking to prevent gray rings around the yolks. Use older eggs for easier peeling.
Smooth Filling : Push the yolk mixture through a fine-mesh sieve for an ultra-smooth texture.
Storage : Store assembled deviled eggs in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 1 day. Add garnishes just before serving.
Serving Suggestions
Romantic Touch : Garnish with edible flowers or microgreens for elegance.
Brunch Staple : Pair with mimosas, coffee, or fresh fruit for a complete meal.
Party Platter : Serve alongside other appetizers like spinach dip, charcuterie boards, or mini quiches for variety.
