Ingredients
- 12 large eggs
- ¼ cup mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon mustard
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- Pinch of salt
- paprika optional garnish
Instructions
- In a medium pot, place the eggs with just enough water to cover them.
- Bring to a boil over medium-high heat and boil for 3 minutes. Then cover and remove from heat and let sit for 15 minutes, covered.
- Remove the eggs from pan and place in an ice water bath for at least 5 minutes. Then remove the shell from each egg and set aside on a paper towel.
- Slice the eggs the long way and scoop the yolk out and place in medium sized bowl.
- Mash the cooked egg yolks slightly with a fork until crumbly.
- Add mayo, mustard, salt and pepper and stir until smooth.
- Spoon the mixture into the egg halves and top with paprika.
Cup of Yum
Notes
- Add in ¼ cup of bacon crumbles or pre-made bacon bits.
- Add in 1 tablespoon of finely chopped jalapeños for a spicy kick.
- Substitute Greek yogurt for mayonnaise.
- Mix in 1 teaspoon of horseradish for extra zing.
- Add 1 tablespoon or two of dill or sweet pickle relish or even just the pickle juice instead.
- Garnish with dill or thinly sliced chives.
- Store leftover deviled eggs in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 2 days.
- You can make them up to one day in advance. I like to store the egg whites and the yolk mixture separately and then fill the halves just before serving. Tip: Pat the whites dry with a paper towels before filling them to remove any condensation.
