Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 12 large eggs
- 1/2 cup (120 milliliters) mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons (30 milliliters) 2% milk
Herbs and Spices:
- 1 teaspoon (5 grams) dried parsley flakes
- 1/2 teaspoon (2.5 grams) dill weed
- 1/2 teaspoon (2.5 grams) minced chives
- 1/2 teaspoon (2.5 grams) ground mustard
- 1/4 teaspoon (1.25 grams) paprika (plus extra for garnish)
- 1/8 teaspoon (0.6 grams) garlic powder
- 1/8 teaspoon (0.6 grams) pepper
Seasoning:
- 1/4 teaspoon (1.25 grams) salt
- Minced fresh parsley for garnish
Instructions
- Halve hard-boiled eggs lengthwise with precision, gently extracting golden yolks into a mixing bowl while preserving pristine egg white vessels.
- Transform yolks into a silky, uniform texture using a fork, breaking down any potential lumps with gentle crushing motions.
- Incorporate mayonnaise, milk, and a symphony of herbs and spices – including parsley flakes, dill weed, minced chives, ground mustard, salt, paprika, garlic powder, and pepper – blending ingredients until achieving a luxuriously smooth, creamy consistency.
- Transfer the aromatic yolk mixture into egg white halves using either a delicate spoon or an elegant piping technique, ensuring each cavity receives an equal, artful portion.
- Elevate the visual appeal by adorning the filled eggs with a delicate sprinkle of freshly minced parsley and a whisper of paprika, adding both color and subtle flavor complexity.
- Chill the prepared deviled eggs in the refrigerator, allowing flavors to harmonize and develop enhanced taste profiles before serving as an irresistible appetizer.
Notes
- Slice eggs on a slightly damp surface to prevent egg whites from sticking and create clean, smooth halves.
- Use room temperature eggs for easier peeling and more consistent hard-boiling results.
- Test yolk mixture’s consistency by adjusting mayonnaise – if too thick, add small amounts of milk to create smooth, creamy texture.
- Experiment with alternative herbs like tarragon or chervil for unique flavor profiles that complement the classic deviled egg taste.
