Ingredients
Eggs
- 6 large hard-boiled eggs (chilled)
Filling
- 1/4 cup mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon stone ground mustard OR Dijon mustard
- 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/8 teaspoon black pepper
Toppings and Garnish
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika
- Several sprigs of fresh chives
Instructions
- Prepare the eggs: Make sure you are using chilled hard-boiled eggs, as warm eggs are difficult to work with. It’s best to prepare hard-boiled eggs in advance and chill them overnight covered in a container.
- Halve and separate: Cut each hard-boiled egg horizontally in half, gently remove the yolks, and place the egg whites on a serving tray. Put the yolks into a mixing bowl.
- Mash the yolks: Use a fork to mash the yolks until they’re crumbly and fine.
- Mix the filling: Add mayonnaise, mustard, kosher salt, and black pepper to the mashed yolks. Stir well until the mixture is creamy and smooth, with only small lumps acceptable for texture.
- Pipe the filling: Transfer the yolk mixture into a piping bag or a Ziploc bag with a snipped corner and pipe it into the cavity of each egg white half until filled.
- Add paprika: Lightly sprinkle paprika over each filled deviled egg for color and flavor.
- Create football stitches: Cut fresh chives into 12 one-inch pieces, then further cut into 36 smaller pieces. Place one larger piece vertically in the center of each egg half and arrange three smaller pieces horizontally to mimic football laces.
- Chill before serving: Cover the eggs loosely or with a lid and refrigerate for at least 1 hour before serving to allow flavors to meld and to keep them fresh.
Notes
- Using chilled hard-boiled eggs makes it easier to peel and assemble the deviled eggs.
- Stone ground mustard adds a nice texture and subtle heat, but Dijon mustard works well as a smoother alternative.
- Refrigerating the deviled eggs for at least 1 hour enhances flavor and helps the filling set properly.
- For soft piping, a Ziploc bag with the corner snipped works perfectly if you don’t have a piping bag.
- This recipe can be doubled or halved easily depending on your needs.
