A creamy, tangy deviled eggs recipe with a subtle smoky paprika twist, perfect for potlucks, snacks, and gatherings. Quick and easy to make with simple pantry ingredients.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 large eggs, cold
  • 3 tablespoons mayonnaise
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 teaspoon white vinegar
  • Salt, to taste
  • Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika, plus extra for garnish

Instructions

  1. Place eggs in a single layer in a medium saucepan and cover with cold water about 1 inch above them. Bring to a rolling boil over medium-high heat.
  2. Once boiling, cover the pot and remove from heat. Let sit for 10 minutes.
  3. Transfer eggs immediately to an ice bath for at least 5 minutes to stop cooking and make peeling easier.
  4. Gently tap each egg on the counter to crack the shell, then peel under cold running water. Pat dry with paper towels.
  5. Slice eggs in half lengthwise. Carefully scoop out yolks into a mixing bowl. Set whites aside on a serving plate.
  6. Mash yolks with a fork or whisk until crumbly and smooth.
  7. Add mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, white vinegar, salt, black pepper, and smoked paprika to the yolks. Stir until creamy and well combined. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
  8. Spoon or pipe the yolk mixture back into the egg whites’ hollow halves.
  9. Lightly sprinkle extra smoked paprika on top for color and flavor.
  10. Refrigerate for at least 15 minutes before serving to let flavors meld and filling firm up slightly.

Notes

Use slightly older eggs (about a week old) for easier peeling. Peel eggs under running water to loosen membranes. If filling is too thick, add a splash of milk or mayo; if too runny, add more yolk. Prepare a day ahead and add paprika garnish just before serving. Variations include adding hot sauce, fresh herbs, avocado, or smoked salmon.
