These deviled eggs with mustard are a tasty treat! They are creamy, zesty, and super easy to whip up. Perfect for parties or just a fun snack at home.
I love how the mustard adds a little kick to the classic recipe. Plus, they disappear fast when I serve them—I can never make enough! 😄
Key Ingredients & Substitutions
Eggs: The star of the dish! Fresh eggs yield the best flavor and texture. If you’re short on eggs, you could even halve the recipe. Just adjust the mayo and mustard accordingly!
Mustard: Dijon gives a nice tang, but yellow mustard works too. If you’re not a mustard fan, try using a bit of mayo or even a dash of hot sauce for some heat.
Mayonnaise: I use regular mayo for creaminess. If you prefer a healthier option, swap it for Greek yogurt for a lighter twist. It still tastes great!
Chives: Fresh chives add a nice pop of color and flavor. If you don’t have chives, green onions or parsley make good substitutes.
How Can I Peel Boiled Eggs Easily?
Peeling boiled eggs can be tricky, but there are a couple of handy tips. Cooling the eggs in ice water right after boiling helps contract the egg inside, making it easier to peel. Also, peel the eggs under running water, which helps loosen the shell.
- Start with eggs that are not super fresh—they peel easier!
- After boiling, shock them in ice water for a few minutes.
- Tap the egg gently on the counter and roll it to loosen the shell.
Give these tips a try, and you’ll have smooth, shell-free eggs ready for your deviled eggs! Enjoy making this classic recipe! 😊
Deviled Eggs With Mustard
Ingredients You’ll Need:
- 6 large eggs
- 3 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard (or yellow mustard)
- 1 teaspoon white vinegar or lemon juice
- Salt, to taste
- Black pepper, to taste
- Paprika, for garnish
- Fresh chives, finely chopped, for garnish
- Optional: small edible flowers or herbs for decoration
How Much Time Will You Need?
This recipe takes about 30 minutes to prepare and 30 minutes to chill. In total, you’ll be looking at around 1 hour to enjoy some delicious deviled eggs! The active preparation takes only about 20 minutes, with some time for the eggs to chill and set.
Step-by-Step Instructions:
1. Cook the Eggs:
Start by placing the eggs in a single layer in a saucepan. Cover them with cold water, making sure there’s about an inch of water above the eggs. Turn the heat to medium-high and bring the water to a boil. Once it reaches a rolling boil, quickly cover the pan, turn off the heat, and let the eggs sit for 10-12 minutes.
2. Cool and Peel the Eggs:
After the time is up, drain the hot water. Immediately transfer the eggs to an ice bath or run them under cold water for about 5 minutes to cool. This helps make peeling easier! Once cooled, gently tap each egg on the counter and peel them under running water to remove the shells completely.
3. Prepare the Filling:
Time to get creative! Slice each egg in half lengthwise and carefully scoop the yolks into a medium bowl. Place the whites on a serving platter. Mash the yolks with a fork until they are nice and crumbly. Add in the mayonnaise, mustard, vinegar (or lemon juice), salt, and pepper. Mix everything together until it’s smooth and creamy!
4. Fill the Egg Whites:
Now comes the fun part! Spoon or pipe the yolk mixture back into the egg white halves. You can use a piping bag or even a plastic bag with a corner snipped off to make it look extra fancy!
5. Garnish and Chill:
Sprinkle a little paprika on top for some color and a mild smoky flavor. Then, add the chopped fresh chives and, if you like, some edible flowers or herbs for decoration. Finally, be sure to chill the deviled eggs in the fridge for at least 30 minutes before serving to let those flavors meld together.
Enjoy your classic but tangy Deviled Eggs With Mustard! They’re sure to be a hit at your next gathering or as a delightful snack anytime. 😊
Can I Use Different Types of Mustard?
Absolutely! While Dijon mustard gives a nice tang, you can substitute it with yellow mustard or even spicy mustard for a kick. Adjust the quantity to your taste preference!
How Can I Store Leftover Deviled Eggs?
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator. They’ll keep well for about 3 days. Just be sure to eat them within that time for the best flavor and freshness!
Are There Any Alternatives to Mayonnaise?
If you want a healthier option, Greek yogurt is a great substitute for mayonnaise, providing creaminess with less fat. You can also try avocado for a uniquely flavored, creamy filling!
How Can I Make These Ahead of Time?
These deviled eggs can be made a day in advance! Just prepare the filling and store it in the refrigerator. Fill the egg whites just before serving to keep everything fresh and visually appealing.
