Ingredients

Scale

Eggs

  • 6 eggs

Yolk Filling

  • 1/4 cup mayonnaise
  • 1/2 tsp vinegar
  • 1/2 tsp mustard
  • 1 tsp milk
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/8 tsp pepper

Garnish

  • Paprika, for garnish
  • Parsley, for garnish

Instructions

  1. Hard Boil the Eggs: Place the eggs in an egg cooker or follow traditional stovetop boiling methods. Once the eggs are fully cooked, immediately transfer them to ice water to halt the cooking process and cool quickly, ensuring easier peeling.
  2. Prepare the Filling: After the eggs have cooled slightly, peel and rinse them. Cut each egg in half lengthwise and carefully remove the yolks. Place the yolks into a food processor along with mayonnaise, vinegar, mustard, milk, salt, and pepper. Pulse until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
  3. Fill the Egg Whites: Using a spoon or a piping bag, fill each egg white half with the creamy yolk mixture. Shape the filling into a swirl or smooth mound.
  4. Garnish and Serve: Lightly dust the filled eggs with paprika and sprinkle fresh parsley on top for color and flavor. Refrigerate the deviled eggs until ready to serve. Enjoy chilled.

Notes

  • Use fresh eggs for the best taste and texture.
  • Cooling eggs quickly in ice water prevents overcooking and green yolk discoloration.
  • For a smoother filling, you can mash the yolks with a fork if you don’t have a food processor.
  • Adjust the amount of mayonnaise or mustard to taste for creaminess or tang.
  • Deviled eggs can be prepared a day ahead and refrigerated tightly covered.
