How this recipe comes together
Preparing deviled eggs is as simple as it is satisfying. Start by boiling the eggs, then let them cool before peeling and slicing them in half. The next steps involve mashing the yolks and mixing them with mayonnaise, mustard, and vinegar until creamy. Finally, the mixture gets spooned or piped back into the egg whites, and a sprinkle of paprika finishes them off beautifully. It’s a straightforward process that can be achieved even by beginner cooks!
