  • Prep 15 min
  • Total 15 min
  • Servings 12

Ingredients

  • 6 hard-cooked eggs, peeled
  • 3 tablespoons mayonnaise or salad dressing
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground mustard
  • 1/8 teaspoon salt
  • 1/8 teaspoon pepper
  • Paprika, if desired

Steps

  • 1
    Cut eggs lengthwise in half. Slip out yolks and mash with fork.
  • 2
    Stir in mayonnaise, mustard, salt and pepper. Fill whites with egg yolk mixture, heaping it lightly. Sprinkle with paprika, if desired. Cover and refrigerate up to 24 hours.

  • Switch up the flavor of the filling in your Classic Deviled Eggs by stirring in finely chopped dill or a dash of garlic powder or hot pepper sauce.
  • Cut a very thin slice off the bottom of each egg white half before filling. This will help your deviled eggs stay in place on the serving plate.
  • Bacon-Cheddar Deviled Eggs: Mix 2 to 3 crumbled crispy bacon slices and 2 tablespoons finely shredded cheddar cheese into the yolk mixture. Garnish with more crumbled bacon or chopped fresh chives or parsley.
  • Blue Cheese Deviled Eggs: Omit the mustard. Add 1/4 cup crumbled blue cheese into the yolk mixture. Garnish with freshly ground black pepper and small celery leaves.
  • Chipotle Deviled Eggs: Omit the mustard. Stir 1 thinly sliced green onion and 1 1/2 to 2 teaspoons finely chopped, drained chipotle chiles in adobo sauce (from a 7-oz can) into the yolk mixture. Garnish with chopped fresh cilantro leaves and a sprinkle of chili powder.
  • Fresh Herb Deviled Eggs: Stir 1 tablespoon of chopped fresh herbs (chives, parsley, dill, basil and/or marjoram) into the yolk mixture. Garnish with small herb leaves.
  • Ham Deviled Eggs: Stir 1 tablespoon finely chopped cooked ham into the yolk mixture. Garnish with small pieces of julienned red bell pepper.
