    This deviled eggs recipe is a real crowd pleaser and so simple to make, perfect for those back-to-the-office potlucks.

    Recipe Ingredients

    • Eggs - I use a free-range egg but you can use whichever egg you normally purchase.
    • Mayonnaise - if you prefer a no mayo version of deviled eggs, substitute sour cream for the mayonnaise.
    • Apple Cider Vinegar - You can also substitute a sweet pickle relish.
    • Salt - Kosher or Table salt is fine.
    • Paprika - Use smoked paprika for a little smoky flavor.

    Prefer something a little different? Try adding in avocado and sprinkling with just a bit of Worcestershire sauce.

    Quantities are available in the recipe card below.

    Recipe Instructions

    Eggs boijing in small saucepan.

    Step One: Place eggs in a single layer in a medium saucepan and cover with water so the eggs are entirely underwater. Bring water to boil and continue cooking for 1-2 minutes, then cover the saucepan and remove from heat. Let sit for 15 minutes to let the eggs fully cook.

    Hard boiled eggs partially peeled.

    Step Two: When cooked, while the eggs are still in the water, tap with a spoon to lightly crack the shells.  Run cold water over the eggs and peel.  

    Hard boiled eggs cut in half.

    Step Three: Rinse the peeled eggs with cool water to remove any shell pieces sticking to the egg white and pat dry.  Use a teaspoon to carefully remove the cooked yolk into a medium bowl.

    For best quality, hard boiled and unpeeled eggs will last about 4-5 days in the refrigerator while unpeeled eggs will last 2-3 days.

    Cooking scrumptious small batch recipes for one and sometimes for two are created in my small 1960’s kitchen. I learned to cook Shepherds Pie in England and Classic Marinara while living in Italy. Born in Southern California and raised in the Midwest, my cooking represents the best of both regions with an added touch of Southern hospitality.
