Instructions

Prepare the Eggs: After the hard-boiled eggs have cooled sufficiently, take a sharp knife and slice them in half lengthwise. Gently remove the yolks and place them in a medium-sized mixing bowl, ensuring the egg whites are intact for filling later.
-
Mash the Yolks: Using a fork, thoroughly smash the egg yolks until they are free of lumps, creating a smooth and creamy base for your filling.
-
Combine Ingredients: To the mashed yolks, add in the mayonnaise, mustard, horseradish, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Mix the ingredients together well, adjusting the amount of mayonnaise and mustard according to your taste preferences. This will help to achieve the desired creaminess and flavor balance.
-
Taste and Adjust: Once combined, taste the mixture and make any necessary adjustments. If you prefer a bit more kick, consider adding a dash more horseradish or mustard.
-
Fill the Eggs: Using a spoon, carefully fill each egg white half with the yolk mixture. For an elegant touch, you can also use a pastry bag fitted with a star tip to pipe the filling into the egg whites, creating a beautifully presented dish.
-
Garnish: Finish off your deviled eggs with a sprinkle of paprika for a pop of color and additional flavor. If you like, you can also add sliced green olives on top for an extra touch of visual appeal and taste.
-
Serve or Chill: These peppy deviled eggs can be served immediately for a fresh and flavorful bite, or you can chill them in the refrigerator for a short while, allowing the flavors to meld beautifully before serving. Enjoy them at your next gathering and watch as they disappear in no time!
