Ingredients

Scale

Eggs and Filling

  • 12 hard-boiled eggs
  • 1/4 cup mayonnaise
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 tablespoon white vinegar (plus extra for pickling)
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste

Pickled Onions

  • 1 medium red onion, thinly sliced
  • 1/2 cup white vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • 1 teaspoon salt

Garnish

  • Smoked paprika, for dusting
  • Extra small pieces of pickled onion

Instructions

  1. Hard Boil the Eggs: Place eggs in a pot and cover with cold water. Bring to a boil, then turn off the heat and cover the pot. Let eggs sit covered for 10-12 minutes for perfectly cooked yolks.
  2. Prepare the Pickled Onions: Thinly slice red onions and soak them in a mixture of white vinegar, sugar, and salt for at least 30 minutes, or preferably overnight for best flavor. Alternatively, use pre-pickled onions.
  3. Peel and Halve the Eggs: Once the eggs are cool, gently peel them under running water and slice in half lengthwise. Carefully remove the yolks and place them in a mixing bowl.
  4. Mix the Filling: Mash the yolks with mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, a splash of the pickling vinegar, and finely chopped pickled onions until the mixture is smooth and creamy. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  5. Fill the Egg Whites: Use a spoon or piping bag to evenly distribute the yolk filling back into each egg white half, restoring the classic deviled egg appearance.
  6. Garnish and Serve: Lightly dust the filled eggs with smoked paprika and top each with a small piece of pickled onion for an attractive and flavorful finish.

Notes

  • Perfect Egg Timing: Use the off-heat boiling method to avoid overcooking and achieve creamy yolks.
  • Peeling Hack: Crack eggs gently and peel under running water to remove shells easily.
  • Pickling Time: Allow onions to pickle overnight or at least for a few hours for enhanced flavor.
  • Filling Texture: Adjust mayonnaise quantities to achieve your preferred creaminess without overwhelming the filling.
  • Serving Chill: Keep deviled eggs refrigerated until serving to maintain freshness and texture.
