Description
A classic, crowd-pleasing appetizer featuring a smooth, savory yolk filling finished with a dusting of paprika for color and warmth.
Ingredients
Scale
- 12 hard boiled eggs
- 6 tablespoons mayonnaise (light mayo recommended)
- 2 teaspoons yellow mustard or Dijon mustard
- 1/4 teaspoon paprika plus extra for garnish
- 1/8 teaspoon salt
- 1/8 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- Peel the hard boiled eggs. Slice each egg in half lengthwise.
- Gently remove the yolks from the egg white halves using a spoon. Place the yolks in a medium bowl.
- Use a fork to mash the yolks until they are crumbled.
- Stir in the mayonnaise, mustard, 1/4 teaspoon paprika, salt, and pepper until the filling is well combined and smooth. For a creamier filling, combine the ingredients in a food processor.
- Transfer the filling to a piping bag (or use a spoon) and pipe or scoop the mixture into the center of the egg white halves.
- Sprinkle the filled eggs with extra paprika before serving.
Notes
- Yellow mustard provides a classic Southern deviled egg flavor.
- For an extra creamy filling, process the filling ingredients in a food processor instead of mashing by hand.
- This appetizer is simple to make ahead of time for parties or gatherings.
