Ingredients
Scale
Eggs
- 6 large hardboiled eggs
Filling
- 2 tbsp real mayonnaise
- 2 tsp dijon mustard
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Garnish
- Chives, finely chopped
Instructions
- Prepare the eggs: Cut the hardboiled eggs in half lengthwise. Use a small spoon to carefully scoop out the yolks into a mixing bowl, keeping the egg whites intact and set aside.
- Make the filling: Mash the egg yolks with mayonnaise, dijon mustard, salt, and pepper until smooth and creamy. Mix thoroughly to combine all ingredients evenly.
- Fill the eggs: Transfer the yolk mixture to a pastry bag fitted with a Wilton 4B tip and pipe the mixture neatly into the egg white halves, ensuring an even and attractive filling.
- Garnish and serve: Sprinkle finely chopped chives over the filled deviled eggs for garnish. Serve immediately or chill before serving for best flavor.
Notes
- For a smoother filling, you can blend the yolk mixture using a food processor instead of mashing by hand.
- If you don’t have a pastry bag, use a plastic sandwich bag with the corner snipped off to pipe the filling.
- Hard boil eggs by boiling them for about 10-12 minutes, then cooling them in ice water for easy peeling.
- Customize the filling with a pinch of smoked paprika or a dash of hot sauce for extra flavor.
