Easy Creamy Deviled Eggs
The classic party favorite gets a rich and tangy twist! Our Easy Creamy Deviled Eggs recipe combines the silky smoothness of mayonnaise with the zing of Dijon mustard and a hint of horseradish, all nestled in a delicate egg white cup.
Ready Time
25 mins
Yields
5 servings
Ingredients
- 6 large eggs, hard-boiled and peeled
- 1/4 cup mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon prepared horseradish
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh chives or paprika, for garnish
Instructions
Cut the eggs in half lengthwise and carefully remove the yolks to a bowl. Mash the yolks with a fork until they’re well broken up.
Add the mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, horseradish, salt, and black pepper to the bowl with the yolks.
Mix until smooth and creamy. Taste and adjust the seasoning as needed – you can always add more of any ingredient, but it’s harder to take it away once it’s added, so start with a light hand! Spoon the yolk mixture evenly into the egg white halves, mounding it slightly in the center.
Sprinkle the tops with chopped chives or paprika.
Chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together. Serve chilled, and be prepared for these babies to disappear in no time!
Notes
For a more vibrant yellow yolk, use farm-fresh eggs or let the deviled eggs sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes before refrigerating.
If you’re not a fan of spicy, reduce or omit the horseradish.
To make ahead, prepare the yolk mixture and egg whites separately, then fill and garnish just before serving.
For an added pop of color, garnish with chopped pickled relish or minced fresh herbs like parsley or dill.
These deviled eggs are perfect for picnics, potlucks, or as an easy snack for the big game!
