Step 1: Prepare the hard boiled eggs and make the yolk mixture.
Once your eggs are peeled, slice eggs in half and place yolks into a medium bowl and mash with a fork until evenly crumbly. Add the remaining ingredients except for the garnishes to the bowl with the egg yolks and mash until smooth and creamy.
Step 2: Pipe the yolk mixture, garnish and serve.
Set egg whites, cut-side up on work surface. Pipe or spoon yolk mixture into the well of the egg halves, dividing evenly. Garnish with smoked paprika and optional garnishes if desired. Place on a serving platter and serve immediately or cover loosely and chill.
FAQs and Expert Tips For This Recipe
Historically hot, peppery or spicy foods were associated with being mean or related to the underworld. Over time the term deviled was used for highly seasoned fried or boiled dishes, as well as spicy condiment filled dishes, like deviled eggs.
Place eggs in a saucepan, cover them with cool water and gently boil them for 10 minutes. Then drain the eggs and run under cold water continuously for at least 3 minutes or place in an ice bath.
When taking the eggs off the heat and draining them, knock them around a bit, by swirling the pan and banging the eggs together. Then the cold water will run underneath the broken shell and help to pry it loose. Also it is helpful to peel the eggs before you refrigerate them. Peeling them under cool running water can be helpful.
