These deviled eggs are one of my most asked for recipes. They are classic without too many added flavors and ingredients. Delicious! www.mostdeliciouslife.com
Ingredients
- 12 eggs
- ⅓ cup mayonnaise NOT miracle whip
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon pepper
- paprika
Instructions
- Place the eggs in a single layer in a pot with water an inch over the top of the eggs. Bring to a boil, and simmer for 8 minutes. Drain immeiately and place in an ice bath till chilled.
- Peel the eggs, and rinse and dry.
- Slice lengthwise, and pop the cooked yolks into a bowl. Mash up the yolks with a fork.
- Add in the ⅓ cup of mayonnaise and salt & pepper. I recommend using an electric hand mixer so you can really whip and cream the filling.
- Using a spoon or a piping bag fill the yolks in to the egg white halves.
- Sprinkle the top lightly with smoked paprika.
- They can be eaten right away, but we recommend chilling for an hour at least. Make sure to keep refrigerated, and not let them sit out too long.
Notes
- If you have an Instant Pot try cooking your hard boiled eggs in there! Put the rack in the bottom. Fill with eggs in a single layer. Pour one cup of water in. Cook 5 minutes on High pressure. DO NOT relieve the pressure. Let it sit for 5 minutes doing a natural release. Then do a quick release. Remove the eggs, and sit them in an ice bath for 5 minutes.
- Just remember 5-5-5!
