These deviled eggs feature a creamy filling with a smoky paprika garnish, perfect for patriotic occasions like the Fourth of July. They are quick, easy, and a crowd-pleaser with a festive flair.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 12 large eggs, hard-boiled and peeled
  • ½ cup (120 ml) mayonnaise
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 teaspoon white vinegar
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 2 teaspoons smoked paprika
  • 1 tablespoon fresh chives, finely chopped (optional)

Instructions

  1. Place 12 large eggs in a single layer in a medium saucepan and cover with cold water by about an inch (2.5 cm). Bring to a rolling boil over medium-high heat, then immediately remove from heat, cover, and let sit for 10-12 minutes.
  2. Drain the hot water and transfer eggs to a bowl of ice water. Let chill for at least 5 minutes. Gently crack shells and peel under running water to remove all bits of shell.
  3. Slice each egg in half lengthwise. Carefully scoop out yolks into a mixing bowl. Mash yolks with a fork until crumbly but not powdery.
  4. Add ½ cup (120 ml) mayonnaise, 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard, 1 teaspoon white vinegar, ½ teaspoon salt, and ¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper to the yolks. Stir until smooth and creamy. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
  5. Using a small spoon or piping bag, carefully fill each egg white half with the yolk mixture, mounding it slightly for a pretty presentation.
  6. Sprinkle 2 teaspoons smoked paprika evenly over the filled eggs. Optionally, scatter finely chopped fresh chives for a touch of green and mild onion flavor.
  7. Refrigerate the deviled eggs for at least 30 minutes to let flavors meld and filling firm up a bit.

Notes

Use slightly older eggs (about a week old) for easier peeling. Boil eggs using the off-heat steeping method to avoid overcooking and get tender whites. Sprinkle paprika just before serving to keep the color vibrant. Piping the filling instead of spooning it on makes for a neater presentation. Prepare eggs a few hours ahead but fill and garnish shortly before serving to avoid soggy whites.
