Ingredients
Scale
- 12 large eggs
- ½ cup (120 ml) mayonnaise
- 1 teaspoon yellow mustard
- 1 teaspoon white vinegar
- ½ teaspoon salt
- Pinch of black pepper (optional)
Instructions
- Place the eggs in a large pot and cover with cold water by about an inch. Bring to a rolling boil over high heat. Once boiling, cover the pot, turn off the heat, and let the eggs sit for 10-12 minutes.
- Transfer eggs to a bowl of ice water immediately after cooking. Let chill for at least 5 minutes. Tap gently on the counter and peel under running water to remove shells smoothly.
- Cut each egg in half lengthwise. Scoop the yolks into a mixing bowl. Mash the yolks with a fork or masher until crumbly but smooth. Add mayonnaise, yellow mustard, white vinegar, and salt. Mix well until creamy and fluffy.
- Spoon or pipe the yolk mixture back into the egg white halves. Optionally, sprinkle a tiny dash of sweet paprika for color.
- Refrigerate the deviled eggs for at least 30 minutes before serving. Serve cold or at room temperature.
Notes
Use eggs a few days old for easier peeling. Cool eggs immediately in ice water to stop cooking and prevent green yolk rings. Add mayonnaise gradually to avoid runny filling. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days. Do not freeze. For dairy-free, use vegan mayo. For adults, add spices like smoked paprika or hot sauce separately.
