Step-by-Step Instructions
Step-by-Step Instructions
Step 1: Hard-Boil the Eggs
Place the eggs in a single layer in a saucepan and cover with cold water by about 1 inch.
Bring the water to a boil over medium-high heat, then turn off the heat, cover the pan, and let the eggs sit for 9–12 minutes (depending on how firm you like the yolks).
Transfer the eggs to an ice bath or run them under cold water to stop the cooking process. Peel the eggs carefully.
Step 2: Prepare the Filling
Slice the eggs in half lengthwise and gently scoop out the yolks into a mixing bowl. Set the whites aside.
Mash the yolks with a fork until crumbly.
Add the mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, white wine vinegar, salt, and pepper to the bowl. Mix until smooth and creamy. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
Step 3: Fill the Egg Whites
Spoon the yolk mixture into a piping bag fitted with a star tip (or use a zip-top bag with the corner snipped off) for a polished look. Pipe the filling into the egg white halves.
Alternatively, use a spoon to fill the whites for a rustic presentation.
Step 4: Garnish
Dust the tops of the deviled eggs with paprika for color and flavor.
Sprinkle with chopped chives or add optional garnishes like crumbled bacon or a drizzle of hot sauce for extra flair.
Step 5: Serve
Arrange the deviled eggs on a platter and serve chilled.
Why This Recipe Works
