Best Deviled Eggs

Prep Time 15 minutes
Cook Time 25 minutes
Total Time 40 minutes
Servings 12 Whole Eggs
Calories 128kcal

Ingredients

  • 12 Large Eggs
  • 1/2 Cup Mayonnaise
  • 2 Teaspoons Dijon
  • 1/2 Teaspoon Smoked Paprika
  • 1/2 Teaspoon Kosher Salt
US Customary - Metric

Instructions

  • Bring a large pot of water to a boil (keep your eggs in the fridge, this makes them easier to peel). Once boiling, transfer eggs directly from the fridge into the boiling water with a pair of tongs as gently as possible so they don't crack. Allow the water to come back to a gentle boil (gentle means you may need to turn down the stove), and allow the eggs to cook uncovered for 12 minutes. Meanwhile prep and ice bath.

  • Use tongs to transfer eggs from the stove to the ice bath. Once cool enough to handle, peel, slice in half, and place the yolks in a large bowl.

  • To the large bowl, add the mayonnaise, dijon, paprika, and salt. Mash the yolks into the mayonnaise and spices with the tines of a fork. If you're having trouble here, you can always incorporate these ingredients in a food processor.
  • Spoon the filling into each of the egg whites. Alternatively, you can put the yolk combo in a pipping bag. Sprinkle the tops with additional paprika, and enjoy!
