A nostalgic and simple recipe for creamy old-fashioned deviled eggs made with just five basic ingredients, perfect for potlucks, holiday spreads, or a quick snack.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 large eggs, hard-boiled and peeled
  • 3 tablespoons mayonnaise (Hellmann’s or Duke’s recommended)
  • 1 teaspoon yellow mustard (Dijon optional)
  • 1 teaspoon white vinegar
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • Pinch of freshly ground black pepper
  • Paprika for garnish (smoked or sweet)

Instructions

  1. Place 6 large eggs in a single layer in a medium saucepan. Cover with cold water about 1 inch above the eggs.
  2. Bring to a rolling boil over medium-high heat. Once boiling, cover the pan, remove from heat, and let sit for 12 minutes.
  3. Immediately transfer eggs to a bowl of ice water and let cool completely for about 5 minutes.
  4. Gently tap eggs on a hard surface to crack shells, then peel under running water. Pat dry with paper towels.
  5. Slice eggs in half lengthwise and carefully scoop out yolks into a mixing bowl. Arrange whites on a serving plate.
  6. Mash yolks with a fork or potato masher until crumbly. Add mayonnaise, yellow mustard, white vinegar, salt, and black pepper. Mix until smooth and creamy. Adjust seasoning if needed.
  7. Spoon or pipe the yolk mixture back into the egg white halves.
  8. Lightly sprinkle paprika over the filled eggs. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving chilled.

Notes

Use eggs that are at least a week old for easier peeling. Shock eggs in ice water immediately after boiling to stop cooking and loosen shells. If filling is too thick, add a splash of milk or extra mayo. Chill filled eggs for at least 30 minutes to let flavors meld. Avoid overcooking eggs to prevent chalky yolks. Piping bag is optional but gives a professional look.
