Preparing Deviled Eggs
Creating deviled eggs is straightforward and will have you channeling your inner chef. Start by hard-boiling the eggs (you can use the stovetop or even an air fryer for that!). Once they’ve cooled, it’s all about peeling and scooping out those yolks. The next step is to mash the yolks with rich mayonnaise, zesty mustard, and a touch of vinegar, transforming them into a creamy filling that’s both flavorful and satisfying. Finally, spoon or pipe the mixture back into the egg whites, and voilà! You have a delectable treat just waiting for a sprinkle of paprika.
Gather these items
For this delicious recipe, you’ll need:
- 6 large eggs, hard-boiled
- 1/4 cup mayonnaise
- 1 tsp yellow mustard
- 1 tsp white vinegar or pickle juice (both work well)
- Salt, to taste
- Black pepper, to taste
- Paprika, for garnish
Feel free to substitute the mayonnaise with Greek yogurt for a lighter option or experiment with different types of mustard for more flavor!
