Ina Garten Deviled Eggs Recipe

Ina Garten Deviled Eggs

Deviled eggs are a traditional appetizer made by hard-boiling eggs, removing the yolks, and mixing them with creamy ingredients and seasonings before spooning the mixture back into the egg whites. Ina Garten’s version adds a refined touch with high-quality ingredients and balanced flavors.

Ingredients

  • Large eggs: 6, hard-boiled and peeled.
  • Mayonnaise: 1/4 cup, for a creamy texture.
  • Dijon mustard: 1 teaspoon, adds tang and depth.
  • White wine vinegar: 1 teaspoon, for a subtle acidity.
  • Salt: 1/2 teaspoon, to taste.
  • Black pepper: 1/4 teaspoon, freshly ground.
  • Paprika: For garnish, add color and a hint of smokiness.
  • Optional toppings: Chives, dill, or crispy bacon bits for added flavor.

Instructions

Step 1: Hard-boil the Eggs

  • Place the eggs in a saucepan and cover them with cold water. Bring the water to a boil over medium-high heat.
  • Once boiling, remove the pan from heat, cover, and let the eggs sit for 10 minutes.
  • Drain the eggs and transfer them to an ice bath to cool. Peel once cooled completely.

Step 2: Prepare the Filling

  • Slice the hard-boiled eggs in half lengthwise and carefully scoop out the yolks into a mixing bowl.
  • Mash the yolks with a fork until smooth. Add mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, white wine vinegar, salt, and black pepper. Mix until creamy and well combined.

Step 3: Assemble the Deviled Eggs

  • Spoon or pipe the yolk mixture back into the hollowed-out egg whites. Use a piping bag or a resealable plastic bag with the corner snipped off for a neat presentation.

Step 4: Garnish and Serve

  • Sprinkle the filled eggs with paprika and any additional toppings, such as chives or bacon bits. Serve immediately or chill until ready to serve.
