Extra-Special Deviled Eggs
These deviled eggs are creamy, tangy, and topped with a sprinkle of paprika and chives for that perfect touch. They’re a classic appetizer that never goes out of style. Let’s dive into the recipe!
Ingredients
- 6 large eggs
- 1/4 cup mayonnaise
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon white vinegar
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh chives (for garnish)
- Paprika (for garnish)
Instructions
- Begin by hard boiling the eggs. Place the eggs in a pot and cover them with water. Bring the water to a boil over medium-high heat, then cover the pot and remove it from the heat. Let the eggs sit in hot water for about 12 minutes.
- Once the time is up, transfer the eggs to an ice bath to cool for about 5 minutes. This will help prevent the yolks from turning green and make them easier to peel.
- Peel the cooled eggs and slice them in half lengthwise. Gently remove the yolks and place them in a separate mixing bowl. Arrange the egg whites on a serving platter.
- Add the mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, white vinegar, salt, and black pepper to the yolks. Mash everything together with a fork until smooth and creamy.
- Carefully spoon or pipe the yolk mixture back into the egg whites. For an extra touch, you can use a piping bag with a star tip to make it look more elegant.
- Sprinkle the deviled eggs with paprika and top them off with chopped chives for garnish.
- Chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld together.
These Extra-Special Deviled Eggs are not only beautiful to look at but also heavenly to taste! Serve them at your next brunch, potluck, or family gathering, and watch them disappear in no time. Enjoy!
