Ingredients
For the Deviled Eggs
- 6 large large eggs Use fresh eggs for best results.
- 1 cup Water Enough to cover the eggs in the pot.
- 1 cup Ice For ice bath.
- 3 tablespoons mayonnaise For the filling.
- 1 teaspoon yellow mustard
- 1 teaspoon white vinegar or lemon juice Adds acidity.
- Salt To taste.
- Black pepper To taste.
- 2 tablespoons mayonnaise (for decoration) For colored topping.
- Red food coloring For decoration.
- Blue food coloring For decoration.
Instructions
Preparation
- Start by placing the eggs in a pot and covering them with water. Bring the water to a gentle boil over medium heat. Once boiling, reduce the heat slightly and cook for 10-12 minutes until the eggs are fully set.
- Transfer the boiled eggs to an ice bath to cool for about 10 minutes. Once completely cooled, peel each egg carefully to avoid breaking the whites.
- Cut the eggs in half lengthwise and gently remove the yolks, placing them into a bowl while arranging the egg whites neatly on a serving platter.
- Mash the yolks thoroughly with a fork until they are smooth. Then mix in the mayonnaise, mustard, and vinegar along with salt and pepper. Adjust the seasoning as needed.
- Use a spoon or piping bag to fill each egg white with the yolk mixture evenly. Make sure it's generous.
- Divide some extra mayonnaise into two small bowls and mix red food coloring into one and blue into the other.
- Add small dabs or swirls of the colored mayonnaise on top of each filled egg for a festive presentation.
Notes
Store filled eggs in the refrigerator for up to two days. Avoid overcooking eggs to prevent a rubbery texture.
