A quick and easy deviled eggs recipe with a creamy texture and a tangy twist from apple cider vinegar and Dijon mustard, perfect for parties and gatherings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 large eggs, hard-boiled and peeled
  • 3 tablespoons mayonnaise
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • Pinch of freshly ground black pepper
  • Smoked paprika, for garnish
  • Chives or fresh parsley, finely chopped (optional)

Instructions

  1. Place 6 large eggs in a medium saucepan and cover with cold water by about an inch (about 4 cups/1 liter). Bring to a rolling boil over medium-high heat, about 8-10 minutes.
  2. Immediately transfer eggs to a bowl of ice water. Let sit for 10-15 minutes to cool completely.
  3. Peel each egg carefully and slice in half lengthwise. Pop out the yolks and place them in a mixing bowl. Arrange the hollow egg whites on a serving plate.
  4. Mash the yolks with a fork or whisk until crumbly but smooth. Add 3 tablespoons mayonnaise, 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard, and 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar. Mix until creamy and well combined.
  5. Stir in 1/4 teaspoon salt and a pinch of freshly ground black pepper. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
  6. Transfer the yolk mixture to a piping bag or resealable plastic bag with the tip cut off. Pipe the filling into the egg white halves neatly. Alternatively, spoon the filling in.
  7. Sprinkle smoked paprika evenly over the filled eggs. Add finely chopped chives or parsley if desired.
  8. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow flavors to meld.

Notes

If the filling is too thick, add a tiny splash of milk or more mayonnaise to loosen it. Avoid over-mixing to keep the filling smooth but not runny. Use eggs a few days old for easier peeling. Chill filled eggs for at least 30 minutes before serving for best flavor and texture. Variations include adding hot sauce, cayenne, fresh herbs, or mashed avocado for different flavor profiles.
