Step-by-Step Instructions for Best Deviled Eggs
- Place large eggs in a saucepan and cover them with cold water. Bring to a rolling boil, then remove from heat and cover for 12–14 minutes.
- Fill a large bowl with ice and cold water to create an ice bath.
- Transfer eggs into the ice bath with a slotted spoon. Chill for 10–15 minutes.
- Gently tap each egg on the countertop, then peel under running cold water.
- Slice each egg in half lengthwise and remove yolks to a mixing bowl.
- Mash yolks until crumbly, then mix in mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, vinegar, relish, salt, and pepper.
- Blend until creamy; adjust consistency with more mayo if too thick.
- Taste and adjust seasoning if needed before filling the egg whites.
- Spoon or pipe the filling into egg white halves and garnish with paprika.
- Chill filled eggs in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving.
