Prep Time: 15 minutes
Cook Time: 15 minutes
Total Time: 30 minutes
Servings: 12 halves
Skill Level: Easy

Ingredients

• 6 large eggs
• 3 tablespoons mayonnaise
• 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
• 1 teaspoon hot sauce (optional)
• 1 teaspoon finely chopped fresh dill, plus more for garnish
• 1 teaspoon white vinegar
• Salt and pepper, to taste
• Smoked paprika, for garnish

Instructions

1. Place the eggs in a single layer in a saucepan and cover them with cold water. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, then remove from heat and cover. Let sit for 12 minutes.
2. Transfer the eggs to a bowl of ice water to cool for about 5 minutes. Gently crack and peel the eggs, then slice each egg in half lengthwise.
3. Scoop out the yolks into a mixing bowl, setting aside the egg whites on a platter.
4. Mash the yolks with a fork until crumbly. Add the mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, hot sauce (if using), chopped dill, vinegar, salt, and pepper. Mix until smooth and well combined.
5. Spoon or pipe the yolk mixture back into the egg white halves, mounding slightly.
6. Garnish with a sprig of fresh dill and a sprinkle of smoked paprika.
7. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld before serving.

Helpful Tips:

• Easy Peeling: Adding vinegar to the boiling water can help make the eggs easier to peel.
• Make Ahead: Deviled eggs can be made a day in advance. Store them, covered, in the refrigerator without the garnish. Add the garnish just before serving.
• Variations: For a different flavor profile, try replacing the dill with chopped chives or parsley, and use curry powder or sriracha instead of hot sauce.

Storage Instructions:

Store leftover deviled eggs in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.

Ingredient Substitutions:

Greek yogurt can be used in place of mayonnaise for a lighter version. If Dijon mustard is unavailable, any tangy mustard will work.

Pairing Suggestions:

Serve these deviled eggs alongside a fresh green salad and a homemade lemonade or iced tea for a perfectly balanced springtime meal.
