Creamy Deviled Eggs
Introduction
Creamy Deviled Eggs are a timeless appetizer that never go out of style. With their velvety filling, tangy seasoning, and smooth texture, they make the perfect bite-sized treat for gatherings, holidays, picnics, or even a quick snack. This version takes the classic to the next level with extra creaminess for that irresistible melt-in-your-mouth goodness.
Ingredients
- 6 large eggs
- 3 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 1 teaspoon yellow mustard (or Dijon mustard for extra tang)
- 1 teaspoon white vinegar or lemon juice
- Salt and black pepper, to taste
- Paprika, for garnish
- Fresh chives or parsley, finely chopped (optional)
Instructions
- Boil the eggs: Place the eggs in a saucepan and cover with cold water. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce heat and simmer for 10–12 minutes.
- Cool and peel: Transfer the eggs to an ice-water bath for at least 5 minutes. Peel the eggs carefully.
- Prepare the filling: Slice the eggs in half lengthwise and remove the yolks. Mash the yolks until smooth.
- Mix the creamy filling: Add mayonnaise, mustard, and vinegar/lemon juice to the yolks. Season with salt and pepper, then stir until creamy.
- Fill the eggs: Spoon or pipe the yolk mixture back into the egg whites.
- Garnish and serve: Sprinkle with paprika and chopped herbs, if desired. Serve chilled.
Description
These Creamy Deviled Eggs have a perfectly balanced flavor — slightly tangy, lightly seasoned, and wonderfully smooth. The filling is airy yet rich, making each bite satisfying without feeling heavy. They’re as beautiful to serve as they are delicious to eat, adding a classic elegance to any table.
Tips
- Older eggs peel more easily than very fresh ones.
- Add a splash of heavy cream or Greek yogurt for extra creaminess.
- Experiment with garlic powder, smoked paprika, or diced pickles for more flavor.
- Use a piping bag with a star tip for a professional presentation.
Correction
If your filling is too thick, add a little more mayonnaise or a few drops of milk until smooth. If it’s too runny, mash in an extra boiled egg yolk.
Enjoy
