Ingredients
Scale
Eggs
- 6 large eggs
Filling
- 2 tbsp mayonnaise
- 1 tsp Dijon mustard
- 1 tsp white vinegar
- ½ tsp garlic powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
Coloring and Garnish
- Red food coloring (a few drops)
- 1 cup water for coloring
- Fresh parsley or chives optional, for garnish
Instructions
- Boil the Eggs: Place the eggs in a saucepan and cover them with water. Bring water to a boil over medium-high heat. Once boiling, reduce heat and let simmer for 10 minutes to ensure hard-boiled eggs.
- Cool the Eggs: Drain the hot water and transfer the eggs immediately to an ice bath to stop cooking and cool completely, making peeling easier.
- Prepare the Egg Halves: Peel the cooled eggs carefully and slice each egg lengthwise. Remove the yolks gently and place them in a small mixing bowl.
- Color the Egg Whites (Optional): In a shallow bowl, mix 1 cup of water with a few drops of red food coloring. Submerge the egg whites in this mixture for 1-2 minutes until they turn a soft pink color. Remove and pat dry with a paper towel.
- Make the Filling: Mash the egg yolks with a fork until smooth. Add mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, white vinegar, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Mix thoroughly to create a creamy and tangy filling.
- Assemble the Deviled Eggs: Transfer the yolk mixture to a piping bag or a zip-top bag with a small corner cut off. Pipe the filling back into the hollowed egg whites evenly.
- Garnish and Serve: Garnish each deviled egg half with fresh parsley or chives, or sprinkle with paprika if desired. Arrange on a platter and serve immediately or chill until ready to serve.
