Ingredients
Scale
12 large eggs
1/2 cup mayonnaise
1 tablespoon yellow mustard
1 tablespoon white vinegar
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon black pepper
Paprika, for garnish
Instructions
Place eggs in a saucepan and cover with cold water. Bring to a boil, then remove from heat, cover, and let stand for 10-12 minutes.
Drain eggs and rinse with cold water. Peel and slice each egg in half lengthwise.
Scoop the yolks into a medium bowl. Mash the yolks with a fork until smooth.
Add mayonnaise, mustard, vinegar, salt, and pepper to the mashed yolks. Stir until well combined and creamy.
Spoon or pipe the yolk mixture back into the egg white halves.
Sprinkle with paprika before serving.
Notes
For a smoother filling, you can press the mashed yolks through a fine-mesh sieve before mixing with other ingredients.
To make ahead, prepare the yolk filling and store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator. Store the hollowed-out egg whites separately. Assemble just before serving.
Deviled eggs can be transported in a deviled egg carrier or a container with a lid, ensuring they are chilled.
