How to make Deviled Eggs

  1. Step 1

    Place the eggs in a pot and cover them with water. Bring the water to a boil, then cover the pot, turn off the heat, and let the eggs sit for 10–12 minutes.

  2. Step 2

    Transfer the eggs to an ice bath immediately after boiling. This helps stop the cooking process. Once cooled, peel the eggs.

  3. Step 3

    Slice the eggs in half lengthwise and carefully remove the yolks.

  4. Step 4

    In a bowl, mix the yolks with mayo, Dijon mustard, white vinegar, a dash of paprika, salt, and pepper until smooth.

  5. Step 5

    Spoon the yolk mixture back into the egg whites. For a fancier presentation, use a piping bag to fill the eggs.
