Core Ingredients
- 6 large eggs, hard-boiled
- 1/4 cup pickled onions, finely chopped
- 3 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
- Salt, to taste
- Black pepper, to taste
Optional Garnishes
- Chopped fresh chives or parsley
- Smoked paprika, for sprinkling
- Crispy bacon bits (optional)
- Hard Boil Your Eggs: Place the eggs in a large pot and cover with cold water. Bring the water to a boil, then turn off the heat and cover the pot. Let the eggs sit for 10-12 minutes to cook thoroughly. Drain the hot water and immediately transfer eggs to an ice bath to cool completely, making them easier to peel.
- Peel and Slice: Carefully peel the cooled eggs, then slice each egg in half lengthwise. Gently remove the yolks and place them in a mixing bowl. Arrange the egg whites on a serving plate to prepare for filling.
- Prepare the Filling: In the bowl with the yolks, mash them with mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, apple cider vinegar, finely chopped pickled onions, salt, and pepper. Mix until the texture is creamy with a slight chunkiness, ensuring the flavors are well combined.
- Assemble Your Deviled Eggs: Spoon or pipe the yolk mixture into the hollowed egg white halves generously. Finish by sprinkling chopped fresh herbs like chives or parsley, and optionally a pinch of smoked paprika or crispy bacon bits for extra flavor and presentation.
Notes
- Use eggs that are about a week old for easier peeling.
- Refrigerate assembled deviled eggs for at least an hour before serving to allow flavors to meld.
- Chop pickled onions finely to distribute flavor evenly without overpowering.
- Prepare the yolk filling a day ahead for quicker assembly on the day of serving.
- Use a piping bag with a decorative tip for a polished, professional look.
- Freezing is not recommended due to changes in texture upon thawing.
