Deviled Eggs
Optional mix-ins or toppings:
* Pickle relish, chives, bacon bits, or hot sauce for added personality and flavor.
### How to Make Deviled Eggs
1. **Hard-boil the eggs:** Place eggs in a saucepan, cover with cold water, bring to a boil, then cover and let sit off-heat for about 10-12 minutes.
2. **Cool and peel:** Transfer eggs to an ice bath, then peel once cooled.
3. **Slice and remove yolks:** Cut each egg in half lengthwise and scoop out the yolks into a bowl.
4. **Make the filling:** Mash the yolks and mix with mayonnaise, mustard, vinegar (or lemon juice), salt, and pepper until smooth.
5. **Fill the egg whites:** Spoon or pipe the yolk mixture back into the egg white halves.
6. **Garnish:** Sprinkle with paprika or add toppings of your choice.
### Tips for Perfect Deviled Eggs
* **Use older eggs:** Slightly older eggs are easier to peel after boiling.
* **Chill before serving:** Let the deviled eggs chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to let the flavors meld.
* **Use a piping bag:** For a fancier presentation, use a piping bag or zip-top bag with the corner snipped off to fill the eggs neatly.
### Creative Variations
Want to switch things up? Try these fun twists:
* **Spicy Sriracha Deviled Eggs:** Add a dash of hot sauce for heat.
* **Avocado Deviled Eggs:** Substitute part of the mayo with mashed avocado.
* **Bacon Ranch Deviled Eggs:** Add crumbled bacon and ranch seasoning for a bold flavor.
