Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 6 hard-cooked eggs
Dairy and Condiments:
- 2 tablespoons (30 milliliters) mayonnaise
- 1 teaspoon (5 milliliters) prepared mustard
Seasonings and Flavor Enhancers:
- 1 teaspoon (5 milliliters) white vinegar
- 1 teaspoon (5 grams) white sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon (2.5 grams) salt
- 1 tablespoon (15 grams) finely chopped onion
- 1 tablespoon (15 grams) finely chopped celery
- 1 pinch paprika
Instructions
- Slice the hard-boiled eggs precisely along their length, gently extracting the golden yolks with a small spoon.
- Transform the separated yolks into a velvety mixture by vigorously mashing with a fork, incorporating mayonnaise, a hint of sugar, tangy vinegar, zesty mustard, finely minced onion, delicate celery, and a pinch of salt until achieving a luxuriously smooth consistency.
- Carefully reconstruct the egg whites by either delicately spooning or elegantly piping the creamy yolk blend back into their original cavities, creating visually appealing and appetizing halves.
- Elevate the presentation by dusting the filled eggs with a light, vibrant sprinkle of paprika just before serving, adding a touch of color and subtle warmth to the classic appetizer.
Notes
- Experiment with different mayo alternatives like Greek yogurt or vegan mayonnaise for a lighter, healthier version of deviled eggs.
- Add a pinch of smoked paprika or cayenne pepper to give the filling an extra kick and depth of flavor.
- Garnish with fresh herbs like chives, dill, or parsley to add a burst of color and freshness to the classic dish.
- Prep eggs in advance and store filling separately to maintain optimal texture and prevent soggy egg whites.
