A quick and easy deviled eggs recipe using pantry staples like mustard and paprika, perfect for last-minute gatherings and parties.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 large eggs, hard-boiled, peeled, and halved
  • 1/4 cup (60 ml) mayonnaise
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 teaspoon yellow mustard
  • 1 teaspoon white vinegar
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/8 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika, for sprinkling
  • Optional garnish: chopped fresh chives or parsley

Instructions

  1. Place 6 large eggs in a medium saucepan and cover with cold water by about an inch (approximately 3 cups / 720 ml). Bring to a rolling boil over medium-high heat (about 10 minutes). Once boiling, turn off the heat, cover the pan, and let eggs sit for 12 minutes for firm, creamy yolks.
  2. Drain the hot water and immediately transfer eggs to a bowl of ice water (or very cold tap water) to stop cooking. Let them sit for 5 minutes, then gently tap and peel the shells.
  3. Slice eggs in half lengthwise. Carefully remove yolks and place them in a mixing bowl. Set whites aside on a serving platter.
  4. Using a fork, mash the yolks until crumbly and smooth. Add 1/4 cup (60 ml) mayonnaise, 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard, 1 teaspoon yellow mustard, 1 teaspoon white vinegar, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/8 teaspoon black pepper. Mix until creamy and well combined. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
  5. Spoon or pipe the yolk mixture evenly back into the egg white halves.
  6. Sprinkle each deviled egg with smoked paprika. Add chopped fresh chives or parsley if desired.
  7. Refrigerate the deviled eggs for at least 15 minutes before serving.

Notes

Use older eggs for easier peeling. Plunge eggs into ice water immediately after boiling to stop cooking and ease peeling. Adjust mustard and vinegar gradually to taste. Piping bags are optional; a spoon works fine. Filling can be prepared ahead and refrigerated separately.
