Description
Creamy, tangy Southern deviled eggs are a crowd-pleasant appetizer. Perfectly balanced with mayonnaise, mustard, and relish, these vibrant bites are easy to assemble and ideal for gatherings. A fresh take on a timeless classic.
Ingredients
6 large eggs, hard-boiled and peeled
1/4 cup mayonnaise, full-fat
1 tablespoon yellow mustard
1 tablespoon sweet pickle relish (optional)
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon black pepper, freshly ground
Paprika, for garnish
Instructions
Hard-boil the eggs: Place eggs in a saucepan, cover with water, and bring to a boil. Reduce heat, simmer for 10 minutes, then cool in ice water, peel, and cut in half lengthwise.
Place yolk filling in a bowl: Scoop out the yolks and mash them with a fork. Add mayonnaise, mustard, relish (if using), salt, and pepper. Season to taste.
Fill the whites: Spoon the yolk mixture into the egg white halves using a small spoon or piping bag.
Garnish and chill: Sprinkle with paprika and refrigerate until ready to serve.
Notes
Relish is optional but adds a sweet-tangy depth. For a smoky flavor, use smoked paprika. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours.
