Deviled Eggs
Deviled Eggs are a classic appetizer featuring hard-boiled eggs halved and filled with a creamy yolk mixture made from mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, and vinegar. The texture is smooth and rich, with a slight tang from the mustard and vinegar, balanced by the seasoning of salt and pepper. A sprinkle of paprika on top adds mild smoky or sweet flavor and a touch of color, making them a simple yet comforting savory bite.
