How to Make Deviled Eggs Recipe

1. Boil the eggs: Place eggs; in a saucepan and cover with water. Bring to a boil, then cook for 10 minutes.
2. Cool down: Remove the eggs from the heat and let them rest in the hot water for 5 minutes.
3. Ice bath: Transfer eggs to a bowl of ice water for 5 minutes—this makes peeling much easier!
4. Peel & slice: Peel eggs, slice in half lengthwise, and carefully scoop out the yolks. Set whites aside.
5. Make the filling: Mash yolks in a bowl with mayonnaise, mustard, hot sauce, pepper, and salt until smooth and creamy.
6. Fill the whites: Spoon or pipe the filling back into the egg whites.
7. Garnish: Sprinkle with paprika and freshly chopped chives or parsley.
8. Chill & serve: Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving for the best flavor.

Tips & Tricks

• Use a piping bag (or zip-top bag with the corner cut off) for prettier presentation.
• Add a dash of vinegar or pickle juice to the filling for extra tang.
• Want smoky flavor? Swap regular paprika for smoked paprika.
• These can be made a day ahead—just keep them covered in the fridge.

Up to 2 days; in an airtight container. They’re best enjoyed fresh, though!
