Ingredients for Classic Deviled Eggs:
Method of preparing the Classic Deviled Eggs:
-
Pat dry the boiled and peeled eggs with a clean kitchen towel or paper towels.
-
Halve the eggs lengthwise, remove the yolks, and transfer them to a medium bowl. Arrange the cooked egg whites on a large tray or plate.
-
Using a fork, break up the yolks into a thick paste. Add in the mayonnaise, mustard, vinegar, salt, and pepper. Mix everything well into a smooth puree. Taste, and add more salt and pepper, if needed.
-
Using a teaspoon or a pastry bag, spread out the egg yolk filling evenly among the egg whites. You can also use a spoon if you don't have a piping bag. Sprinkle with a dash of paprika and chopped chives. Serve immediately or refrigerate for up to a few hours before serving.
Chef's Tip:
If the yolks look a bit too pale to your liking, add a pinch of turmeric o the egg yolk filling. If you add only a tiny bit, it will add color to the filling without altering the taste.
