Ever heard the phrase, “the devil’s in the details?” Well, the mayo in this recipe is what gives these eggs their creamy decadence.

How To Make Deviled Eggs
1. First up, place your eggs in a large pot and fill it with water covering the eggs by about an inch. As the water comes to a boil, give your eggs a good hard stare (actually, this is to make sure they don’t crack too early on you).
2. Reduce the heat and let the eggs simmer for about 9 minutes. That’s just enough time to put your feet up and sip some sweet tea.
3. Once the time is up, drain the hot water and bathe these little fellas in an ice bath. This stops them from cooking any further and makes peeling a breeze.
4. Once cooled, peel the eggs neatly. Slice them in half lengthwise and gently scoop out the yolks into your mixing bowl.
5. Add the mayo, vinegar, mustard, salt, and pepper to the yolks and whip it up until it’s creamy and light.
6. Pipe or spoon the mixture back into the hollowed egg whites.
7. Sprinkle each with a touch of paprika for garnish and extra flavor.

– Make sure your eggs are a week or two old for easy peeling.

– Follow the recipe proportions strictly to get the creamy, balanced flavor.
Storage Tips
– Deviled eggs can be stored in the fridge for up to 2 days.
