A creamy, simple deviled eggs recipe with a smoky paprika twist that is quick to make and perfect for any occasion.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 large eggs, hard-boiled and peeled
  • 3 tablespoons mayonnaise
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 teaspoon white vinegar
  • ¼ teaspoon salt, or to taste
  • ⅛ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, or to taste
  • ½ teaspoon smoked paprika, for garnish

Instructions

  1. Place 6 large eggs in a medium saucepan and cover with cold water by about an inch (about 3 cups or 700 ml). Bring to a rolling boil over high heat (around 10 minutes). Once boiling, cover the pan, turn off the heat, and let sit for 12 minutes.
  2. Drain the hot water and immediately transfer eggs to a bowl of ice water. Let chill for at least 10 minutes. Crack shells gently and peel under running water if needed.
  3. Slice each egg in half lengthwise. Carefully pop out the yolks and place them in a small mixing bowl. Mash the yolks with a fork until no lumps remain.
  4. Add 3 tablespoons mayonnaise, 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard, 1 teaspoon white vinegar, ¼ teaspoon salt, and ⅛ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper to the mashed yolks. Stir well until creamy and smooth. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
  5. Using a small spoon or piping bag, fill each egg white half with the creamy yolk mixture. Do not overstuff.
  6. Sprinkle each deviled egg with a pinch of smoked paprika. Serve immediately or chill for up to 2 hours.

Notes

Use slightly older eggs for easier peeling. Cool eggs immediately in ice water to prevent green rings around yolks. Adjust filling consistency with milk or more mayonnaise if needed. Store filling and whites separately for best texture. Smoked paprika adds essential smoky flavor; regular paprika can be used as a substitute.
