Classic Deviled Eggs
Ingredients for Classic Deviled Eggs:
Hard boiled eggs - 6 (peeled)
Mayonnaise - 1/4 cup
Yellow mustard - 1 tsp.
White vinegar - 1 tsp.
Salt - 1/8 tsp.
Ground black pepper - to taste
Sweet paprika - for garnish
Method of preparing the Classic Deviled Eggs:
  1. Pat dry the boiled and peeled eggs with a clean kitchen towel or paper towels.
  2. Halve the eggs lengthwise, remove the yolks, and transfer them to a medium bowl. Arrange the cooked egg whites on a large tray or plate.
  3. Using a fork, break up the yolks into a thick paste. Add in the mayonnaise, mustard, vinegar, salt, and pepper. Mix everything well into a smooth puree. Taste, and add more salt and pepper, if needed.
  4. Using a teaspoon or a pastry bag, spread out the egg yolk filling evenly among the egg whites. You can also use a spoon if you don't have a piping bag. Sprinkle with a dash of paprika and chopped chives. Serve immediately or refrigerate for up to a few hours before serving.
Chef's Tip:
If the yolks look a bit too pale to your liking, add a pinch of turmeric o the egg yolk filling. If you add only a tiny bit, it will add color to the filling without altering the taste.
