Deviled Eggs
Deviled eggs are a classic appetizer made by halving hard-boiled eggs, removing the yolks, and mixing them with ingredients like mayonnaise, mustard, vinegar, and spices. The creamy, tangy yolk mixture is then spooned or piped back into the egg whites, often garnished with a sprinkle of paprika or fresh herbs. With their rich flavour and smooth texture, deviled eggs are a crowd-pleasing dish perfect for parties, picnics, or holiday gatherings. Their versatility allows for various flavour enhancements, from adding relish to spicing them up with hot sauce or bacon.
Ingredients
- 1 dozen eggs boiled for 11 minutes
- Juice from half of a lemon
- 1 tbsp. Dijon mustard
- 1/2 tsp. salt
- 1/4 tsp. black pepper
- 1 tsp. garlic powder
- 1/4 c. mayonnaise or miracle whip or until desired consistency
- Paprika for garnishing
- Fresh dill or minced chives for garnishing
Instructions
- In a large pot place your dozen eggs and fill with cold water until they are submerged by about an inch. On medium-high heat, bring to a boil the dozen eggs and boil for 11 minutes. Once boiled, place the eggs into an ice bath and then peel the shells off of the eggs
- When the egg shells are peeled off of all of the eggs, slice all of your eggs in half length-wise. Scoop out the egg yolks, without ripping the egg whites, with a spoon and place the yolks into a medium sized bowl.
- In the bowl with the egg yolks, mash the egg yolks up with either a fork or potato masher. Add the juice from the lemon, Dijon mustard, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and either mayonnaise or miracle whip. Mix together with a spatula.
- When the egg yolks are now a creamy egg filling, scoop small portions into the holes that the egg yolks came out of in the egg whites. (Or use a piping bag.) Place the now filled egg whites onto a nice serving tray. Garnish with either paprika, dill or minced chives. Or all three.
- Cover and keep in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to an hour or until needed.
