Stuffed Eggs, often referred to as deviled eggs, are a classic appetizer that’s always a hit at gatherings, from casual picnics to holiday parties. These bite-sized treats are made by halving hard-boiled eggs, then mixing their creamy yolks with flavorful ingredients like mayonnaise, mustard, and a touch of paprika. The result is a smooth, tangy filling that’s piped back into the egg whites, creating a deliciously satisfying snack that’s both elegant and easy to prepare. Serve them as a timeless addition to any menu, and watch them disappear quickly!
Ingredients:
- 6 large eggs
- 1/4 cup mayonnaise
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon white vinegar
- 1/8 teaspoon salt
- 1/8 teaspoon black pepper
- Paprika, for garnish
- Fresh herbs (like chives or parsley), for garnish (optional)
Instructions:
- Boil the Eggs: Place the eggs in a saucepan and cover them with cold water. Bring the water to a boil over medium-high heat. Once boiling, remove the saucepan from heat, cover it, and let the eggs sit for 10-12 minutes.
- Cool the Eggs: Drain the hot water and immediately transfer the eggs to a bowl of ice water. Let them cool for at least 5 minutes before peeling.
- Prepare the Filling: Carefully peel the eggs and slice them in half lengthwise. Remove the yolks and place them in a bowl. Mash the yolks with a fork until smooth. Add the mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, white vinegar, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well combined and creamy.
- Stuff the Eggs: Spoon or pipe the yolk mixture back into the egg white halves, filling each cavity generously.
- Garnish and Serve: Lightly sprinkle the stuffed eggs with paprika and garnish with fresh herbs if desired. Serve immediately or refrigerate until ready to serve.
