What Are Deviled Egg Ingredients?

To make this super easy recipe for deviled eggs you will need these ingredients:

• Hard-Boiled Eggs made on the stovetop in a pot or in my favorite new countertop Egg Cooker. (LOVE this thing!) 
• Mayonnaise – You can make homemade or use your favorite store-bought brand. I like Hellman's Mayo but Dukes Mayo is a close second. 
• Mustard- Dijon mustard is best, but if you like yellow mustard that is ok too. 
• Vinegar– white vinegar or apple cider vinegar works. Not a fan? You can use lemon juice in its place. 
• Garlic Powder– Just a tiny bit adds so much depth of flavor when adding this to your yolk mixture! 
• Salt and Pepper– Just a dash here because the other ingredients will add just enough salt. Taste the egg mixture to get it just right. 
• Extra Toppings- When I make this, I like to top my deviled egg with a sprinkle of paprika and a pinch of chopped fresh chives or a sprig of parsley or dill. It gives a nice pop of color.

Begin by peeling the shells off your cooked and cooled hard boiled eggs.

To prepare your deviled egg filling, slice eggs in half lengthwise, gently scoop the yolks out and place them into a small bowl. Set egg white halves aside.

In the bowl full of cooked yolks, mash egg yolks with a fork. Stir in the mayonnaise, vinegar, Dijon mustard, garlic powder, salt, and pepper until completely combined creating a super creamy filling.

Top and serve: Top each of the deviled eggs with your desired toppings, then serve! I like to use smoked paprika for a slight bbq flavor or a sprig of fresh dill.
