Ingredients
- 6 large eggs
- 3 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon white vinegar
- 0.5 teaspoon paprika
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon chives, finely chopped (optional for garnish)
- 1 teaspoon pickle juice (optional for extra tang)
Directions
Step 1
Place the eggs in a single layer in a medium-sized saucepan and cover them with water. Ensure there's about 1 inch of water above the eggs.
Step 2
Bring the water to a boil over medium-high heat. Once it reaches a rolling boil, turn off the heat, cover the saucepan, and let the eggs sit for 10 minutes.
Step 3
After 10 minutes, carefully transfer the eggs to a bowl of ice water. Let them cool for 5-10 minutes to stop the cooking process and make peeling easier.
Step 4
Peel the eggs under running water to help remove the shells smoothly. Once peeled, gently slice each egg lengthwise and scoop out the yolks into a medium bowl. Place the egg whites on a serving tray.
Step 5
Mash the egg yolks with a fork until they are crumbly and smooth. Add mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, white vinegar, salt, black pepper, and (if using) pickle juice. Mix thoroughly until the consistency is creamy and well-blended.
Step 6
Use a spoon or a piping bag with a star tip to fill the cavities of the egg whites with the yolk mixture.
Step 7
Sprinkle the filled eggs lightly with paprika. Garnish with chopped chives if desired.
Step 8
Chill the deviled eggs in the refrigerator for at least 15-20 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld.
Step 9
Serve cold and enjoy Rita's zesty take on deviled eggs!
