Ingredients
- 12 eggs - week old works best for easy peeling
- ¾ cup mayonnaise
- 1 teaspoon yellow mustard
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- ¼ teaspoon fresh cracked pepper
- paprika - for garnish
Instructions
- In a large pot, place eggs and cover with cold water. Cook on medium high heat until water comes to a boil. Turn off heat, cover pot with lid and let sit for 13 minutes. Uncover, drain and rinse with cold water. Let eggs cool completely.
- Peel the eggs, making sure no shell remains. Cut eggs in half, remove yolks, and place in a medium-sized bowl. Place whites on a serving platter. Mash yolks with a fork to a small crumble. Add mayonnaise, mustard, salt, and pepper and mix until smooth.
- Using a small spoon or a plastic bag fitted with a star tip, fill the whites with the deviled egg mixture. Dust with paprika is desired.
Notes
- For an added twist, try incorporating finely chopped dill pickles, sweet pickle relish or dill pickle relish into the yolk mixture. You can also experiment with avocado, horseradish, or cayenne pepper for an unexpected yet scrumptious touch. The creamy avocado texture and horseradish's spicy kick will elevate your deviled eggs to a whole new level.
-
To peel hard-boiled eggs easily, gently tap the eggs on the counter to crack the shells and roll them to loosen the shell. Peel the eggs under running water or in a bowl of water for a smooth outcome.
