Why You’ll Love This Recipe

  • These classic deviled eggs are simply amazing due to the simple fact they are so easy to make. Not only are they just super delicious, but they are made with a handful of ingredients that are probably already in the household. Got a party coming up? Make a batch of these make-ahead friendly, protein filled appetizers!
  • There are so many different recipes out there for deviled eggs, but this one is a classic for a reason: mayonnaise and butter help make the filling rich and more-ish, Dijon mustard and paprika add a little kick, and the vinegar really helps round out all the flavors.

Chef’s Tips

  • There are so many different options for making these deviled eggs ahead depending on when you plan to serve them. They can be fully assembled up to 3 hours before your party and kept under a loose layer of food wrap in the fridge. You can also cook and peel the eggs up to a day ahead, and make the filling to chill in the piping bag. If you choose this option, store the empty egg whites on the platter you wish to serve them on as picking them up to fill after they have sat empty overnight they’ll be easy to tear.
  • These deviled eggs only have a slight kick from the mustard and paprika, but if you want to kick things up a notch you’ll still get that classic deviled egg flavor if you switch the paprika for cayenne pepper, or add a dash of Tabasco to the mixture.

Ingredients

  • 6 large hard-boiled eggs

  • ½ teaspoon white vinegar
  • ¼ cup mayonnaise
  • ½-1 tablespoon unsalted butter softened
  • salt to taste
  • paprika for topping
  • chopped green onion or chives optional, to serve
InstacartGet Recipe Ingredients

Equipment

  • Piping bag with round or star tip or plastic sandwich bag with one corner cut off

Instructions 

  • Use sharp knife to halve each hard-boiled egg, slicing horizontally through center of the egg. Place egg halves on cutting board or plate. Wipe off knife blade with paper towels to remove any excess egg yolk, then repeat process with remaining eggs until all hard-boiled eggs have been halved.
  • Gently scoop yolks out of egg whites and into mixing bowl. Be careful not to tear egg whites. Return empty egg whites to cutting board or plate.
  • Once all egg yolks have been transferred to bowl, stir and mash yolks to desired consistency. For smoothest filling texture, mash the yolks until no solid pieces remain.
  • Add the Dijon mustard, vinegar, mayonnaise, softened butter, and salt to bowl. Stir well until ingredients are fully combined, then taste mixture and adjust ingredients as needed to achieve desired flavor.
  • Transfer yolk mixture to pipping bag fitted with piping tip. Work yolk mixture down to piping tip, then twist top of piping bag closed.
  • While gently applying pressure from back of filled piping bag, pipe yolk mixture directly into cavity of egg whites, swirling filling as if frosting cupcakes. Repeat until all egg whites have been filled.
  • Dust each deviled egg with smoked paprika to taste, then garnish with chopped green onion or chives, if liked.

Notes

Get ahead: There are so many different options for making these deviled eggs ahead depending on when you plan to serve them. They can be fully assembled up to 3 hours before your party and kept under a loose layer of food wrap in the fridge. You can also cook and peel the eggs up to a day ahead, and make the filling to chill in the piping bag. If you choose this option, store the empty egg whites on the platter you wish to serve them on as picking them up to fill after they have sat empty overnight they’ll be easy to tear.
Make them spicy: These deviled eggs only have a slight kick from the mustard and paprika, but if you want to kick things up a notch you’ll still get that classic deviled egg flavor if you switch the paprika for cayenne pepper, or add a dash of Tabasco to the mixture.
