How to Make Classic Deviled Eggs

Step 1: Hard-Boil the Eggs

Place eggs in a saucepan and cover with water.

Bring to a boil, then cover, remove from heat, and let sit for 10–12 minutes.

Transfer eggs to an ice bath to cool completely.

Step 2: Peel and Halve

Gently peel the cooled eggs and slice each egg in half lengthwise.

Remove the yolks and place them in a bowl.

Step 3: Make the Filling

Mash the yolks with a fork until fine.

Add mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, vinegar, salt, and pepper.

Mix until smooth and creamy.

Step 4: Fill the Egg Whites

Transfer the yolk mixture to a piping bag (or use a spoon) and fill each egg white half generously.

Step 5: Garnish and Serve

Sprinkle with paprika and top with chopped chives or green onions if desired.

Serve immediately or refrigerate until ready to serve.

Charcuterie boards

Roasted meats or grilled chicken
