Deviled Eggs Recipe

These are the BEST Classic Deviled Eggs you'll ever make. When you want a perfectly savory, creamy whipped deviled egg filling, keep it classic and follow this simple recipe!
Prep Time15 minutes
Total Time15 minutes
Course: Appetizer
Cuisine: American
Servings: 12 servings

Ingredients

  • 12 hard-boiled eggs peeled
  • 2 teaspoons dijon mustard
  • ½ cup mayo I used reduced fat olive oil mayo
  • ¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • salt and cracked black pepper to taste
  • ¼ teaspoon smoked paprika or regular paprika

Instructions

  • Use a sharp knife to slice peeled, hard-boiled eggs in half lengthwise. Gently scoop out the firm yellow centers (yolks) and place in a medium bowl. Arrange egg whites on a platter.
  • Add dijon, mayo, and cayenne pepper to the bowl. Mix until very creamy (I like to use an electric hand mixer, you can use a stand bowl mixer or mix by hand as well).
  • Taste, add salt and pepper to taste (I like to start with 1/4 teaspoon each, taste, and add more if needed).
  • Scoop or pipe filling into the center of each egg white. Top with a sprinkle of paprika. Serve immediately or cover and keep chilled in the fridge up to 8 hours. Allow to come to room temperature for about 15 minutes before serving after they've been chilled.
