Time 40m

Yield 24 deviled eggs

Number Of Ingredients 7

12 large eggs (see Cook's Note)
1/2 cup mayonnaise
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1 to 2 dashes hot sauce, optional
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
Finely chopped chives, for garnish
Smoked paprika, for sprinkling

Steps:

  • Place the eggs in a single layer in a wide saucepan, cover with 1 inch of water and bring to a boil. Lower the heat to medium-low and simmer for 10 minutes. Transfer the eggs to a bowl of ice water to cool completely, then carefully peel them.
  • Dip a clean kitchen towel in a small bowl of warm water. Wipe the blade of your knife with the towel to warm it up and to wet the blade. Slice the eggs in half lengthwise, one at a time, wiping the blade clean between each egg. (The warm, wet blade will give you clean cuts.) Remove the yolks to a medium bowl. Mash the yolks with a whisk. Add the mayonnaise, mustard, hot sauce if using and salt and pepper to taste. Whisk until very smooth. Transfer to a large resealable plastic bag or disposable pastry bag and snip off one corner with scissors.
  • Place the egg whites on a platter. Pipe the filling evenly into the egg whites. Top with chives and a sprinkle of paprika. Refrigerate for 20 to 25 minutes prior to serving.

This recipe is adapted from ''U.S.A. Cookbook," a tribute to classic all-American dishes, written by Sheila Lukins, a co-author of the Silver Palate cookbooks that were popular in the 80s and 90s. There are no newfangled ingredients here - no lemongrass or curry or pesto - just eggs, mustard, mayonnaise, a dash of Tabasco and a festive sprinkle of paprika (if you're feeling fancy, garnish with chives). They are basic, but spectacular, and always a welcome addition to the picnic table.

1 tablespoon finely chopped celery
1 pinch paprika, or to taste

Tips:

  • Use the freshest eggs possible. Older eggs will not have as much flavor and will be more likely to fall apart when you cook them.
  • Hard-boil the eggs properly. The eggs should be cooked until the yolks are firm but not overcooked, or the yolks will be dry and crumbly.
  • Cool the eggs completely before peeling them. This will make them easier to peel and will prevent the shells from sticking to the eggs.
  • Use a sharp knife to cut the eggs in half. This will help to prevent the eggs from crumbling.
  • Scoop out the yolks carefully. Use a small spoon to scoop out the yolks, being careful not to break the whites.
  • Mash the yolks with a fork or spoon until they are smooth. You can also use a food processor or blender to mash the yolks.
  • Add your desired ingredients to the yolks. Common additions include mayonnaise, mustard, sour cream, celery, onion, and pickles.
  • Season the yolks to taste. Salt and pepper are common seasonings, but you can also add other spices, such as garlic powder, onion powder, or paprika.
  • Pipe the yolk mixture into the egg white halves. You can use a piping bag or a spoon to do this.
  • Garnish the deviled eggs with your favorite toppings. Common garnishes include paprika, chopped parsley, or crumbled bacon.

Conclusion:

Deviled eggs are a classic party appetizer that are easy to make and always a crowd-pleaser. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can create a delicious and elegant dish that will impress your guests.
