A smooth, tangy deviled eggs recipe with a hint of mustard and a smoky paprika garnish, perfect for parties and easy to prepare.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 large eggs, hard-boiled and peeled
  • 3 tablespoons mayonnaise
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 teaspoon white vinegar
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/8 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Place 6 large eggs in a single layer in a medium saucepan and cover with cold water about 1 inch above the eggs.
  2. Bring water to a gentle boil over medium-high heat. Once boiling, cover the pan, turn off the heat, and let the eggs sit for exactly 12 minutes.
  3. Transfer the eggs immediately to an ice bath for at least 5 minutes to cool and stop cooking.
  4. Gently tap each egg on the counter and peel under running water if desired.
  5. Cut each egg lengthwise and scoop out the yolks into a mixing bowl.
  6. Mash the yolks with a fork until crumbly.
  7. Add mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, white vinegar, salt, and black pepper to the yolks and mix until silky smooth. Add a splash of milk or water if the mixture is too thick.
  8. Spoon or pipe the yolk mixture back into the egg white halves.
  9. Sprinkle smoked paprika evenly over the filled eggs.
  10. Cover and refrigerate for at least 20 minutes before serving.

Notes

Use older eggs for easier peeling. Add a splash of milk or water if the filling is too thick. Prepare a day ahead and add paprika just before serving. Avoid overcooking eggs to prevent green rings and bitterness.
