A nostalgic and creamy deviled eggs recipe perfect for parties, potlucks, and family gatherings. This classic Southern-style recipe blends tangy mustard, creamy mayo, and a hint of smoked paprika for a crowd-pleasing snack.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 large eggs
  • 1/4 cup mayonnaise (60 ml)
  • 1 tablespoon yellow mustard
  • 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • Pinch of black pepper
  • Smoked paprika for garnish

Instructions

  1. Place 6 large eggs in a medium saucepan and cover with cold water by about an inch (approximately 2.5 cm). Over medium-high heat, bring the water to a rolling boil, then immediately turn off the heat and cover. Let the eggs sit for 12 minutes.
  2. Transfer the eggs to a bowl of ice water and let them chill for at least 5 minutes.
  3. Gently tap each egg on the counter, then peel under running water if needed. Pat dry with paper towels.
  4. Using a sharp knife, cut the eggs in half lengthwise. Carefully scoop the yolks into a mixing bowl, setting the whites aside on a serving platter.
  5. Mash the yolks with a fork or potato masher until smooth. Add 1/4 cup mayonnaise, 1 tablespoon yellow mustard, 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and a pinch of black pepper. Stir until creamy and well combined. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
  6. Spoon or pipe the yolk mixture back into the egg white halves. If piping, fill a bag or zip-top bag with the mixture and snip the corner to create a neat swirl.
  7. Sprinkle smoked paprika over the filled eggs. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to let flavors meld.

Notes

Use eggs about a week old for easier peeling. Avoid overboiling to prevent greenish yolk rings. Chill eggs after filling for best flavor and texture. Use a piping bag for neat presentation. Variations include adding hot sauce, avocado, herbs, or smoked salmon.
