There’s something about Deviled Eggs that just screams comfort and nostalgia. Maybe it’s the creamy filling or the slight kick of paprika on top, but they’re a staple at every family gathering, picnic, and potluck I attend. I remember my grandmother preparing these little bites of heaven with such care, each one more perfect than the last. I’ve taken her recipe, added a few twists of my own, and now I’m excited to share it with you. Perfect for everyone from beginner cooks to seasoned chefs, this recipe is a delightful journey into the art of making the perfect deviled eggs.
- 12 large eggs
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon mustard (Dijon or yellow)
- 1 tablespoon relish (sweet or dill, according to taste)
- Salt to taste
- Pepper to taste
- Paprika, for garnish
- Fresh herbs (optional, for garnish)
Start by boiling the eggs. Place eggs in a large saucepan, cover them with cold water by 1 inch. Bring water to a boil over medium-high heat. Once boiling, cover and remove from heat. Let sit for 12 minutes. Transfer eggs to a cold water bath to cool.
Peel the eggs gently under running cold water. Slice the eggs in half lengthwise, removing yolks to a medium bowl, and placing the whites on a serving platter.
Mash the yolks into a fine crumble using a fork. Add mayonnaise, mustard, relish, salt, and pepper, and mix well. Adjust the ingredients to taste.
Evenly disperse heaping teaspoons of the yolk mixture into the egg whites. For a more refined look, use a piping bag fitted with a star tip.
Sprinkle each egg half with paprika and garnish with fresh herbs if desired. Serve chilled or at room temperature.
