Ingredients

  • dozen large eggs

  • dijon mustard
    2 tsp
  • mayonnaise
    ⅓ c
  • minced shallot or onion
    1 tbsp
  • tabasco sauce
    ¼ tsp
  • salt and pepper

Directions

  1. 1

    Steam the eggs: (See how to steam hard boiled eggs .) Fill a saucepan with an inch of water and insert a steamer basket. Bring the water to a boil and place the eggs in the steamer basket. (If you don't have a steamer basket, you can just place the eggs directly in about 3/4 inch of water.) Cover the pan and let the eggs steam from the boiling water for 17 minutes for 12 large eggs, or 15 minutes for 6 large eggs. Reduce cooking time by a couple minutes if using regular size (not large) eggs. Then shock with cold water and peel. Have a pressure cooker?

What sets this Deviled Egg recipe apart is its commitment to simple, yet perfectly balanced flavors. We're talking about that quintessential, satisfying taste that feels both familiar and special. The judicious blend of creamy mayonnaise, sharp Dijon mustard, and a whisper of Tabasco creates an undeniable tang and subtle warmth, elevating the humble hard-boiled egg into an irresistible bite. This reliable approach ensures consistently delicious results every time.

When you bite into these, expect a harmonious blend of textures: the tender, yielding egg white giving way to a smooth, velvety yolk filling.

This recipe yields 12 servings, making it ideal for sharing. Plus, you’ll appreciate that this Deviled Egg recipe is naturally gluten-free and low carb, fitting easily into various dietary preferences.

Customization is simple if you want to tweak things slightly. While a minced shallot or onion is called for, you can lean into whichever you prefer for a slightly milder or sharper edge.

You can also experiment with different types of paprika for garnish, from sweet to smoked, to add an extra layer of flavor and visual appeal.

These classic Deviled Eggs are the quintessential appetizer for Easter gatherings, summer picnics, or any time you need a quick and easy, yet impressive, bite. Dusting with a final sprinkle of paprika not only adds a lovely color but also a touch of elegance, making them presentation-ready for your guests.
