This classic deviled eggs recipe is quick, easy, and perfect for any occasion. Made with simple pantry staples like mayonnaise, yellow mustard, apple cider vinegar, and seasoned with salt, pepper, and garlic powder, these creamy deviled eggs are a delicious appetizer that’s sure to impress. Garnished with a sprinkle of paprika, they make an irresistible finger food for parties, picnics, or holiday gatherings.

Ingredients

Eggs

  • 12 boiled and peeled eggs

Filling

  • 1/3 cup mayonnaise (add more if desired for creaminess)
  • 1 tbsp yellow mustard
  • 1 tsp apple cider vinegar
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder (optional)

Garnish

  • Paprika, for sprinkling

Instructions

  1. Prepare the eggs: Cut the boiled and peeled eggs in half lengthwise. Carefully separate the yolks from the whites and place the egg white halves on a plate to the side.
  2. Make the filling: Transfer the egg yolks to a bowl and mash them thoroughly with a fork until smooth. Add the mayonnaise, yellow mustard, and apple cider vinegar, mixing until creamy and well combined. Start with 1/3 cup mayonnaise and add more if you prefer a softer filling.
  3. Season the mixture: Gradually add salt and black pepper to taste. For added flavor, incorporate about 1/2 teaspoon of garlic powder if you like. Mix everything until seasoning is evenly distributed.
  4. Fill the egg whites: Use a small spoon or a piping bag to evenly distribute the yolk mixture into the hollowed egg white halves, filling each cavity neatly.
  5. Garnish and chill: Lightly sprinkle paprika over the filled eggs for a pop of color and mild smoky flavor. Cover and refrigerate the deviled eggs for up to 2 days before serving.

Notes

  • For best results, ensure eggs are fully cooled and peeled before halving to keep whites intact.
  • You can adjust mayonnaise amount depending on your preferred creaminess.
  • Use a piping bag for a more elegant presentation, or simply spoon the filling if preferred.
  • Deviled eggs are best served chilled but can be made a day ahead.
  • Leftover deviled eggs should be stored in an airtight container in the fridge and consumed within 2 days.
