Ingredients

  1. 6 eggs
  2. 1/4 cup mayonnaise
  3. 1 teaspoon white vinegar
  4. 1 teaspoon yellow mustard
  5. 1/8 teaspoon salt
  6. Freshly ground black pepper
  7. Smoked Spanish paprika, for garnish

Instructions

  1. Place eggs in a single layer in a saucepan and cover with enough water that there’s 1 1/2 inches of water above the eggs. Heat on high until water begins to boil, then cover, turn the heat to low, and cook for 1 minute. Remove from heat and leave covered for 14 minutes, then rinse under cold water continuously for 1 minute.
  2. Crack egg shells and carefully peel under cool running water. Gently dry with paper towels. Slice the eggs in half lengthwise, removing yolks to a medium bowl, and placing the whites on a serving platter. Mash the yolks into a fine crumble using a fork. Add mayonnaise, vinegar, mustard, salt, and pepper, and mix well.
  3. Evenly disperse heaping teaspoons of the yolk mixture into the egg whites. Sprinkle with paprika and serve.

I add a little spice, including diced sweet jalapeño! Best recipe I’ve tried.
Jeffrey Smith
Have tried few other recipes, this is still the best one! The flavor on the yolk mixture is amazing!
Allen Williams
Deviled eggs — Seriously?!!!
I can’t believe there is an entire (long) discussion on a FOOD site about how to boil, peel, cut in half, & simply season eggs to make them into deviled eggs!!!!
surely there are more interesting topics!
Derek Acevedo
Perfect… instructions and flavor.
Patrick Buchanan
This is the recipe that I’ve been using for years. I always get positive feedback from friends and family. Ravenirismiller: Why would you low ball the rating because you don’t know how to peel an egg?
Samantha Shah
Love this recipe! Made them at Easter last year and they have become a staple in my house!
Melissa Kirby
Excellent tasting and easy to make
Pamela Morris
Love how quick, easy, and satisfying this recipe is! My only issue was with the boiled eggs, wasn’t a clean and easy peel, but some other reviews have great tips for making an easy peel. The taste was perfect and the ingredient list made it that much easier, great recipe.

Delicious!! Instead of making deviled eggs though, I made it into egg salad. It was really good.
Bradley Cook
Great results – and very easy to follow.
