Years of trial and error led to the creation of this recipe. In our home, it is an Easter custom. WARNING: Very slick. On carpet, they will always land with their yolks facing up. To taste, adjust the vinegar.
| Prep Time: | 35 mins |
| Total Time: | 35 mins |
| Servings: | 6 |
| Yield: | 12 deviled eggs |
Ingredients
- 6 eggs
- 1 teaspoon white vinegar
- 1 tablespoon mayonnaise
- ¼ teaspoon prepared mustard
- salt and pepper to taste
- 1 teaspoon paprika, or to taste
- 2 leaves of lettuce
Instructions
- Place eggs in a pot of salted water. Bring the water to a boil, and let eggs cook in boiling water until they are hard boiled, approximately 10 to 15 minutes. Drain eggs, and let cool. Once cool, remove the shell, cut the eggs in half lengthwise and scoop out the yolks.
- Place the yolks in a medium-size mixing bowl and mash them. Blend in vinegar, mayonnaise, mustard, salt and pepper. You may need to add more mayonnaise to hold the mixture together, but it should be slightly dry.
- Carefully put the egg yolk mixture back into the egg whites but do not pack it. There will be enough mixture so the whites are overfilled. Sprinkle with paprika. Place on bed of lettuce and/or garnish with parsley. Cool before serving.

Just like grandma’s. No tuna. No olives. No crazy hot stuff. Just good old deviled eggs. Yummy. Oh – and Badger Monkey: the recipe by Margaret is on another site, not AR. So it must not be as good!!!
I made it, I liked them; I need to tweak it a bit to get it to taste like mom’s. I think more mustard would do. I’m not sure what’s up with AbarJbar – They seem to be posting on all the recipes I looked at with the same comment and I can’t find any recipe here for “Deviled Eggs by Margaret Sanders.
love it
Great recipe. But boiling eggs for 10-15 minutes will make the yolk grey. Cook for 6 minutes after the water begins to boil for perfectly hard, bright yellow yolks.
I love these. I do add quite a bit more mayo and celery salt and a dash of cayenne pepper for a little kick.
Yes
I thought this recipe was rather bland. I had to do a lot of playing around to get the flavor and texture good enough to eat, and my family still wasn’t happy.
I made the recipe as written and it was as good as my mother’s deviled eggs. She has passed away and the egg recipe she knew by heart so nothing is written down.
Made with olive oil mayonnaise. Delicious!!
Made with olive oil mayonnaise. Delicious!!
Secret ingredient is substituting miracle whip for the mayo and sprinkle chives and paprika on top
I make them for every holiday ! am asked to bring the eggs for at least enough for 20+ people !
Love these with the vinegar! Added a shake of garlic salt and used more mustard and miracle whip than it called for. Yum!!!
no, it was an easy recipe to do and they were delicious. I took them to carry in dinner at church and mine was the first to be eaten all up. Thanks for the recipe!
The only change I made was to use Honey Mustard in the mix, I didn’t even get one egg, they were gone in a flash.
I was looking for a simple recipe with few ingredients and this is it! Just like I remember. I used seasoning salt and probably put in more mayo than it called for (I added it before looking up any recipe). Delicious!
A keeper at our house!
1 tsp is a lot of paprika. I accidentally mixed in 1/2 tsp and then sprinkled the rest on top as indicated. Honestly this didn’t really taste like anything but paprika and eggs to me, but you will probably love it if you love paprika. I prefer my deviled eggs with a bit more of a kick.
Made it to the recipe and was wonderful! Hubby said this is the best.
Very fast & easy recipe . I would make it again !!!
Very good recipe had I not messed up my egg boiling! I don’t know what I did but the egg white got dry and rubbery! Yuck. I could eat the yolk mixture plain though, it tasted so good!
