Chilled hard-boiled egg halves refilled with a smooth, tangy seasoned yolk mixture.
About deviled egg
Deviled eggs are hard-boiled egg halves filled again with their seasoned yolks. This profile follows a classic American-style formula of mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, apple cider vinegar, salt, pepper and paprika.
Egg yolk and mayonnaise make the filling rich and savoury, sharpened by mustard and vinegar. Salt and black pepper give direct seasoning, while paprika adds a mild earthy finish.
The chilled egg-white cups are firm, glossy and neatly halved beneath mounds of pale-yellow filling. The filling is smooth and creamy, contrasting with the springy white and the fine red paprika dusting.
