Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 6 hard-cooked eggs
Creamy and Flavor Enhancers:
- 2 tablespoons (30 milliliters) mayonnaise
- 1 teaspoon (5 milliliters) white sugar
- 1 teaspoon (5 milliliters) white vinegar
- 1 teaspoon (5 milliliters) prepared mustard
Herbs and Seasonings:
- 1 tablespoon (15 milliliters) finely chopped onion
- 1 tablespoon (15 milliliters) finely chopped celery
- 1/2 teaspoon (2.5 milliliters) salt
- 1 pinch paprika
Instructions
- Slice hard-boiled eggs precisely down the center, carefully extracting golden yolks into a mixing vessel.
- Thoroughly pulverize yolks using a fork, creating a smooth foundation for blending additional ingredients like mayonnaise, sugar, vinegar, mustard, minced onion, diced celery, and salt into a creamy, cohesive filling.
- Transfer the prepared mixture into egg white cavities, using either a spoon or piping technique to ensure elegant, uniform distribution.
- Dust the filled egg halves with a delicate sprinkle of vibrant paprika, adding visual appeal and subtle flavor enhancement.
- Refrigerate the prepared deviled eggs for at least 30 minutes to allow flavors to meld and maintain optimal serving temperature.
Notes
- Ensure eggs are at room temperature before boiling to prevent cracking and achieve evenly cooked eggs.
- Use older eggs for easier peeling after hard-boiling, as they have less moisture and separate from the shell more smoothly.
- For a lighter version, substitute Greek yogurt for mayonnaise to reduce calories and add extra protein.
- Experiment with different spices like smoked paprika or cayenne for a unique flavor twist that elevates the classic deviled egg recipe.
