Ingredients

Eggs and Filling

  • 6 large hardboiled eggs
  • 2 tbsp real mayonnaise
  • 2 tsp Dijon mustard
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

Garnish

  • Chives, finely chopped

Instructions

  1. Prepare the eggs: Cut each hardboiled egg in half lengthwise. Carefully scoop out the yolks with a small spoon and place them into a mixing bowl. Set aside the egg whites on a serving plate for filling.
  2. Make the filling: Mash the yolks with the mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper until the mixture is smooth and creamy. Mix thoroughly to combine all flavors evenly.
  3. Fill the eggs: Transfer the yolk mixture into a pastry bag fitted with a Wilton 4B tip. Pipe the filling neatly into the hollowed egg whites, ensuring each half is generously filled.
  4. Garnish and serve: Sprinkle chopped chives on top of each deviled egg for a fresh, flavorful garnish. Serve immediately or chill until ready to serve.

Notes

  • Use eggs that are about a week old for easier peeling when boiling.
  • For a smoother filling, you can add a teaspoon of milk or cream to the yolk mixture.
  • If you don’t have a pastry bag, you can use a zip-top bag with the corner snipped off to pipe the filling.
  • Deviled eggs can be prepared a few hours ahead and refrigerated; add chives just before serving for best texture.
