A classic and creamy deviled eggs recipe perfect for parties and large gatherings, featuring a smooth, tangy filling with a subtle smoky twist.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 50 large eggs, hard-boiled and peeled
  • 1 cup mayonnaise
  • 3 tablespoons yellow mustard
  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • Optional: dash of hot sauce or pinch of cayenne pepper

Instructions

  1. Place the 50 eggs in a large pot and cover with cold water by about an inch (2.5 cm). Bring to a rolling boil over high heat, then cover the pot, turn off the heat, and let the eggs sit for 12 minutes.
  2. Drain hot water and immediately transfer eggs to an ice bath for at least 10 minutes. Gently tap each egg on a hard surface and roll it to crack the shell, then peel carefully under running water.
  3. Slice each egg in half lengthwise with a sharp knife. Remove yolks and place them in a mixing bowl. Set the whites on your serving platter. Mash the yolks until crumbly and fine using a fork or handheld mixer.
  4. Add mayonnaise, yellow mustard, apple cider vinegar, salt, and pepper to the mashed yolks. Mix thoroughly until very smooth and creamy. Adjust seasoning if needed.
  5. Using a piping bag fitted with a star tip or a spoon, fill each egg white half with the yolk mixture.
  6. Lightly sprinkle smoked paprika over the filled eggs. Optionally, add thinly sliced chives or a dash of hot sauce.
  7. Refrigerate the deviled eggs for at least 30 minutes before serving to let flavors meld and filling firm up.

Notes

Use eggs that are a few days old for easier peeling. Peeling under running water helps remove stubborn shells. Use a handheld mixer for a smoother filling or a fork for chunkier texture. Chill eggs before serving for best flavor and texture. Avoid overfilling the egg whites to prevent mess.
