Instructions
-
Preparation of Eggs: Begin by placing the eggs into a large saucepan, ensuring they are fully covered with water. It is important to have enough water to submerge the eggs completely, which will aid in even cooking.
-
-
Cooking: Turn the burner to medium heat, and carefully set the saucepan filled with eggs onto the burner. Allow the eggs to cook covered for exactly 20 minutes. This precise timing is crucial to achieving perfectly hard-boiled eggs.
-
Cooling and Peeling: After the 20 minutes are up, remove the saucepan from heat and let the eggs cool slightly. It’s easier to peel the eggs when they are still a little warm, so be mindful of this as you proceed. Gently tap each egg on a hard surface to crack the shell, then peel the shells off, taking care not to tear the egg white.
-
Preparing the Filling: Once peeled, slice each egg in half lengthwise. Carefully scoop out the yolks and transfer them to a mixing bowl, being diligent to keep the white halves intact. This will create the perfect vessel for your creamy filling.
-
Mixing the Ingredients: Add the dry mustard, mayonnaise, paprika, black pepper, garlic powder, chopped parsley, chives, and finely chopped onions to the bowl containing the yolks. Mix everything together thoroughly until the mixture is smooth and well combined, allowing the flavors to meld beautifully.
-
Filling the Egg Whites: Using a spoon or a piping bag, fill each egg white half generously with the yolk mixture. Take your time to make them look appealing, as presentation is just as important as taste.
-
Final Touches: For an added touch of flavor and color, sprinkle a bit of additional paprika over the filled eggs. This not only enhances the appearance but also adds a delightful hint of spice.
-
Chilling: Place the completed deviled eggs in the refrigerator to chill for at least 30 minutes before serving. Chilling allows the flavors to develop further and makes for a refreshing bite.
These Absolutely Perfect Deviled Eggs are an exceptional addition to any meal or gathering, providing a nutritious, flavorful option that everyone will love. Enjoy them at breakfast or as a delightful appetizer at your next get-together, and watch them disappear!
