Classic Deviled Egg recipe featuring creamy, tangy filling made with mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, and fresh lemon juice, garnished with paprika. Perfect for appetizers, parties, or snacks, these deviled eggs are simple to prepare and serve.

Ingredients

Eggs

  • 6 large eggs

Filling

  • 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
  • 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
  • 2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper

Garnish

  • Paprika (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Boil the eggs: Place the eggs in a medium pot and cover evenly with cold water by about one inch. Set the pot over medium heat and bring the water to a rolling boil. As soon as the water boils, remove the pot from heat, cover it with a lid, and let the eggs sit in the hot water for 15 minutes to cook through.
  2. Cool and peel the eggs: Remove the eggs from the pot and immediately transfer them to an ice bath to stop the cooking process and cool completely. Once cooled, carefully peel the eggs to remove the shells.
  3. Prepare the egg whites: Cut each peeled egg in half lengthwise. Place the hollowed egg white halves on a large platter and refrigerate while you prepare the filling.
  4. Make the filling: Scoop the yolks into a large bowl and mash them with the back of a fork until crumbly. Add mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, fresh lemon juice, salt, and black pepper. Mix all ingredients thoroughly until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
  5. Fill the egg whites: Transfer the yolk mixture into a sturdy zip-top plastic bag. Snip off one corner of the bag to create a piping bag. Pipe the yolk filling evenly into each egg white half.
  6. Garnish and serve: Lightly sprinkle paprika over the filled eggs for color and a hint of flavor. Serve the deviled eggs immediately or keep refrigerated until ready to serve.

Notes

  • Use fresh eggs for the best taste and texture.
  • For easier peeling, eggs can be slightly older (about a week).
  • Adjust seasoning to taste, adding more salt, pepper, or mustard if desired.
  • Make ahead by preparing filling and whites separately, assembling shortly before serving to keep fresh.
  • Can garnish with additional toppings like chives or bacon bits for variation.
