Ingredients

  • 6 large eggs
  • 3 tablespoons mayonnaise
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 teaspoon white vinegar or apple cider vinegar
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste
  • Paprika, for garnish
  • Optional: Chives, bacon bits, or pickled jalapeños for garnish

Instructions

  1. Place eggs in a single layer in a saucepan and cover with water. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, then remove from heat, cover, and let sit for 10 minutes.
  2. Transfer the eggs to an ice water bath to cool for 5 minutes. Peel the eggs and pat them dry.
  3. Slice the eggs in half lengthwise and gently remove the yolks. Place the yolks in a bowl and mash them with a fork.
  4. Add mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, vinegar, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Mix until smooth and creamy.
  5. Spoon or pipe the yolk mixture back into the egg white halves. Use a piping bag or plastic bag with a corner snipped off for a decorative touch.
  6. Sprinkle the filled eggs with paprika and garnish with chives, bacon bits, or jalapeños if desired.
  7. Serve immediately or refrigerate until ready to serve.

Notes

    1. Storage: Store leftover deviled eggs in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
    2. Make-Ahead Option: Prepare the filling and store separately from the whites. Assemble just before serving.
    3. Variations: Add hot sauce for spice, relish for sweetness, or smoked salmon for a gourmet twist.
    4. Peeling Tip: Older eggs are easier to peel than fresh ones.
