Ingredients
Scale
12 large eggs
1/2 cup mayonnaise
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1 teaspoon white vinegar
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika, plus more for garnish
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
Instructions
Place eggs in a large saucepan and cover with cold water by 1 inch. Bring to a boil over high heat. Once boiling, remove from heat, cover, and let stand for 10-12 minutes.
Drain hot water and immediately fill the pan with ice water. Let eggs cool for at least 10 minutes.
Peel the cooled eggs and slice them in half lengthwise. Scoop out the yolks and place them in a medium bowl.
Arrange the egg whites on a serving platter.
Mash the egg yolks with a fork until smooth.
Add mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, white vinegar, salt, black pepper, smoked paprika, and garlic powder to the mashed yolks.
Mix until all ingredients are well combined and the filling is smooth and creamy.
Spoon or pipe the yolk mixture back into the egg white halves.
Garnish each deviled egg with a sprinkle of smoked paprika.
Chill until ready to serve.
Notes
For perfectly peeled eggs, try slightly bruising the shells before boiling.
Adjust the amount of mayonnaise to achieve your desired consistency.
Experiment with different mustards for a unique flavor profile.
You can use a piping bag for a more elegant presentation.
