A quick and easy deviled eggs recipe featuring a creamy, tangy filling with a smoky sprinkle of paprika, perfect for parties and casual gatherings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 large eggs, hard-boiled and peeled
  • 3 tablespoons mayonnaise
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 teaspoon white vinegar
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/8 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika
  • Optional: finely chopped chives or parsley for garnish
  • Optional: a dash of hot sauce or cayenne pepper

Instructions

  1. Place 6 large eggs in a medium saucepan and cover with cold water by about an inch (2.5 cm). Bring water to a rolling boil over medium-high heat, then cover and remove from heat. Let eggs sit for 10-12 minutes.
  2. Transfer the eggs immediately to a bowl of ice water. Let them chill for at least 5 minutes to stop cooking and make peeling easier.
  3. Gently tap each egg on the counter to crack the shell, then peel under cool running water. Pat dry with a paper towel.
  4. Slice each egg in half lengthwise and scoop out the yolks into a mixing bowl. Mash the yolks with a fork until crumbly.
  5. Add 3 tablespoons of mayonnaise, 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard, 1 teaspoon white vinegar, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and a pinch of black pepper to the mashed yolks. Stir or whisk until the mixture is smooth and creamy. If too thick, add a tiny splash of milk or mayonnaise.
  6. Spoon or pipe the yolk mixture back into the egg white halves.
  7. Sprinkle each filled egg generously with paprika. For a smoky twist, use smoked paprika.
  8. Place the deviled eggs in the refrigerator for at least 20 minutes to let flavors meld and the filling firm up.

Notes

Use eggs that are at least a week old for easier peeling. For a lighter version, substitute half the mayonnaise with Greek yogurt. Prepare filling and egg whites separately if making ahead to avoid soggy whites. Use smoked paprika for a deeper smoky flavor. Whisk filling vigorously or use a handheld mixer for extra creaminess.
