Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 6 large eggs
  • 1/4 cup pickled onions, finely chopped
  • 3 tablespoons mayonnaise
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste

Optional Garnishes

  • Fresh herbs such as chives or parsley, chopped
  • Smoked paprika, for sprinkling
  • Crispy bacon bits
  • Capers

Instructions

  1. Hard boil the eggs: Carefully place the eggs in a pot and cover with cold water. Bring water to a gentle boil, then simmer for about 10 minutes. After cooking, transfer the eggs to ice-cold water to stop the cooking process and make peeling easier.
  2. Peel and halve the eggs: Gently peel the cooled eggs and slice them in half lengthwise. Remove the yolks carefully and place them into a mixing bowl, setting the egg whites aside on a serving plate.
  3. Prepare the filling: Mash the yolks together with mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, apple cider vinegar, salt, and pepper until smooth and creamy. Finely chop the pickled onions and fold them into the yolk mixture to infuse the filling with tangy flavor.
  4. Fill the egg whites: Using a spoon or piping bag, generously fill each egg white half with the prepared yolk mixture. Arrange the filled eggs neatly on your serving platter.
  5. Garnish and serve: Top the deviled eggs with fresh herbs or a sprinkle of smoked paprika for visual appeal and an extra flavor boost. Serve immediately or chill for at least 30 minutes to let flavors meld before serving.

Notes

  • Use eggs that are at least a week old for easier peeling.
  • Finely chop pickled onions to evenly distribute flavor without overwhelming texture.
  • Adjust mayonnaise quantity to achieve your preferred filling creaminess or firmness.
  • Chill deviled eggs for at least 30 minutes before serving to enhance the flavors and help set the filling.
  • For a neat presentation, use a piping bag to fill the egg whites rather than spooning.
