Ingredients
Scale
Eggs and Filling
- 6 hard-boiled eggs
- 3 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Additional Flavor & Garnish
- 1/4 cup pickled onions, chopped
- Fresh chives for garnish
Instructions
- Prepare the eggs: Peel the hard-boiled eggs carefully and slice each egg in half lengthwise, ensuring clean cuts to avoid breaking the whites.
- Remove yolks: Gently remove the yolks from the egg halves and place them into a medium-sized bowl for mixing.
- Make the filling: Add mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, salt, and black pepper to the yolks. Use a fork or a whisk to mash and combine the ingredients until you achieve a smooth and creamy consistency.
- Add pickled onions: Fold the chopped pickled onions into the yolk mixture, distributing them evenly to add a tangy crunch throughout the filling.
- Fill the egg whites: Using a spoon or a piping bag, carefully spoon or pipe the yolk mixture back into the hollowed egg whites, filling each half generously but neatly.
- Garnish: Sprinkle freshly chopped chives over the filled eggs for a fresh, mild onion flavor and an attractive presentation.
- Chill before serving: Place the deviled eggs in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to let the flavors meld and serve chilled for best taste.
Notes
- For easier peeling, use eggs that are at least a week old.
- Chilling the eggs before slicing helps keep the halves intact.
- Adjust salt and pepper to taste depending on your preference.
- Pickled onions can be store-bought or homemade for a personalized touch.
- These deviled eggs are best served within 1-2 days refrigerated to maintain freshness.
