A simple and creamy deviled eggs recipe with a smoky paprika twist that makes this classic appetizer unforgettable and perfect for any occasion.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 12 large eggs, hard-boiled and peeled
  • ⅓ cup mayonnaise
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 teaspoon white vinegar
  • ½ teaspoon salt, or to taste
  • ¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon paprika (smoked paprika recommended for richer flavor)
  • Optional: finely chopped chives or fresh parsley for garnish

Instructions

  1. Place 12 large eggs in a single layer in a large pot. Cover with cold water by at least an inch. Bring to a rolling boil over high heat, then cover the pot and remove it from heat. Let eggs sit for 12 minutes.
  2. Transfer eggs to an ice water bath for 5 minutes to stop cooking and make peeling easier. Gently tap and peel shells under running water. Pat eggs dry with a towel.
  3. Slice eggs in half lengthwise. Carefully remove yolks and place them in a bowl. Arrange whites on your serving platter.
  4. Using a fork, mash yolks until crumbly and fine. Add mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, white vinegar, salt, and black pepper. Mix together until smooth and creamy.
  5. Spoon or pipe the yolk mixture back into the egg white halves. For a neat look, use a pastry bag or a zip-top bag with a small corner cut off.
  6. Lightly dust the tops with paprika. Add a sprinkle of chopped chives or parsley if desired.
  7. Refrigerate for at least 20 minutes before serving to help flavors meld and filling firm up slightly.

Notes

Use older eggs for easier peeling. If filling is too thick, add a splash of milk or extra mayo. Add paprika just before serving for best color and flavor. For dairy-free, substitute mayo with avocado mayo or vegan mayo. Greek yogurt can replace half the mayo for a tangy twist.
