Classic Deviled Eggs With Tangy Mustard
This classic deviled egg recipe features a wonderful tangy mustard kick. It’s a go-to for picnics, potlucks, and family dinners.
Key Ingredients & Tips
- Easier Peeling: Older eggs tend to peel more easily than very fresh ones. This can save you a lot of time and frustration when making deviled eggs.
- Mustard Choice: You can use classic yellow mustard for a traditional flavor or Dijon mustard for a bit more zip. Choose what you like best!
What You Need
- 6 large hard-boiled eggs
- 1/4 cup mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard (or yellow mustard)
- 1 teaspoon white vinegar
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- Pinch of paprika for garnish
⏱️ Time: 15 minutes🍽️ Yields: 12 deviled egg halves
How to Make It
Step 1: Prep Hard-Boiled Eggs
Start by peeling your hard-boiled eggs carefully. Slice each egg in half from top to bottom. Gently remove the yolks and place them into a small bowl. Arrange the empty egg white halves on your serving dish.
Step 2: Create the Creamy Filling
To the bowl with the egg yolks, add the mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, and white vinegar. Use a fork to mash and mix everything together until you have a smooth and creamy filling. Season with salt and black pepper to your liking.
Step 3: Fill and Garnish
Spoon or pipe the yolk mixture back into each egg white half. For a nice finish, sprinkle a little paprika over the top of each deviled egg. This adds color and a little extra flavor.
📝 Final Note
These classic deviled eggs are best served chilled. Store them in an airtight container in the fridge if you make them ahead of time.
