Description

Creamy, tangy deviled eggs filled with a whipped yolk-mayo-mustard blend and topped with finely crumbled egg yolk and fresh herbs — a timeless appetizer with a delicate twist.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 large eggs
  • 3 tablespoons mayonnaise
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 teaspoon white wine vinegar
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • 1 tablespoon finely chopped chives or parsley
  • Paprika or extra yolk crumble for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Place eggs in a saucepan and cover with cold water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 10 minutes.
  2. Drain and transfer eggs to an ice bath to cool completely. Peel and halve lengthwise.
  3. Gently scoop out the yolks and place them in a mixing bowl. Reserve one yolk for garnish, if desired.
  4. Mash yolks with mayonnaise, mustard, vinegar, salt, pepper, and chopped herbs until smooth and creamy.
  5. Spoon or pipe the filling back into the egg whites.
  6. Grate or crumble the reserved yolk over the top for a delicate finish.
  7. Serve chilled or at room temperature.

Notes

  • Use a piping bag for a more elegant presentation.
  • Can be made a few hours ahead and kept chilled until serving.
  • Try adding a pinch of smoked paprika for extra depth.
