That’s exactly how I make my deviled eggs. I’ve had deviled eggs made by others that were more complicated, and were very tasty, but my favorite remains the simple way my mom taught me to make them: Eggs, mayo, mustard, salt, pepper, finish with a dusting of paprika.
Must be mustard powder, not prepared mustard. Blech.
Smoked spanish paprika is no substitute for regular :smack:
Oh, and put the filling items into a ziploc baggie - for 6 or less yolks, a quart, 6 or more a gallon. Mash between your hands or with a rolling pin. Cut out a tiny end and use bag to pipe filling into eggs. WAY easier than putting it all into a bowl.
Our family tradition uses just stone ground horseradish mustard and maybe a bit of mayonaise to smooth and bulk out the mixture. The egg-half is topped so that not only is the cavity filled in, but there’s half a centimeter of filling across the top. Then we sprinkle it with paprika.
Egg yolks, Miracle Whip, dijon mustard, sweet relish, salt and pepper, dust with paprika. Sometimes I add in an extra white, from the ugly ones that didn’t peel well.
I use the baggie trick, too! It’s really fast and less messy.
Egg yolks, mustard, a little sweet and dill pickle relish, a little black pepper and a smattering of honey. Dust with paprika. Yes honey. Ok, the first time it was a mistake cause I knocked the honey bear out of a cabinet when I reached up to grab the paprika. The cap was loose and some honey got in the mixture. I was making deviled eggs to take to a friend’s house and just a little tiny bit of honey got in the mixture so after much swearing, I just made the eggs and went on my way. They were a hit. So, honey is now my secret ingredient. I don’t measure, but really just a teeny tiny bit is what I use.
That being said, I’ve yet to meet a deviled egg I won’t eat.
Yeah, I like the tartness. It’s really just a matter of taste. Toss in a capful and taste. If that doesn’t work for you, add more. I actually use two for a full dozen eggs.
