Instructions:
-
Hard boil your eggs: Begin by placing the eggs in a saucepan and covering them with water. Bring the water to a boil over medium-high heat. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and let the eggs simmer for 10-12 minutes.
-
Peel eggs: After boiling, carefully transfer the eggs to a bowl of ice water to cool for a few minutes. Once cooled, gently tap each egg on a hard surface and peel away the shell.
-
Slice eggs lengthwise and empty yolks into a bowl: With a sharp knife, slice each egg in half lengthwise. Carefully remove the yolks and place them into a mixing bowl, setting the egg whites aside on a serving platter.
-
Stir in mayonnaise, salt, and pepper until smooth: To the bowl containing the egg yolks, add the mayonnaise, salt, and pepper. Using a fork or spoon, vigorously stir the mixture until it achieves a smooth and creamy consistency.
-
Fill egg whites with yolk mixture: Using a small spoon or piping bag, evenly distribute the yolk mixture into the hollowed-out centers of the egg whites. Be generous with the filling, ensuring each egg half is nicely packed with flavor.
-
Sprinkle paprika over eggs: Once all the eggs are filled, lightly sprinkle paprika over the tops of each deviled egg. This not only adds a pop of color but also enhances the flavor profile with a subtle hint of spice.
-
Store in refrigerator: Cover the deviled eggs with plastic wrap or place them in an airtight container, then refrigerate until ready to serve. These delightful appetizers can be made ahead of time, allowing for stress-free entertaining.
Enjoy these delightful deviled eggs as a savory snack, appetizer, or accompaniment to any meal. With their creamy texture and flavorful seasoning, they are sure to be a hit at your next gathering! 🎉
