Deviled eggs are believed to have evolved from seasoned stuffed eggs served in European kitchens as early as the eighteenth century. Today they remain a popular appetiser across many cuisines because they are simple to prepare and rich in protein. The creamy yolk filling is usually flavoured with mustard, mayonnaise, and spices, which makes each bite tangy and satisfying. They work well for brunch spreads, party platters, or quick snacks.
6 boiled eggs 3 tablespoons mayonnaise 1 teaspoon mustard Salt and black pepper Paprika or chilli powder for garnish
Slice the boiled eggs lengthwise and gently remove the yolks into a bowl.
Mash the yolks with mayonnaise, mustard, salt, and pepper until the mixture becomes smooth and creamy.
Spoon or pipe the filling back into the hollow egg whites evenly.
Sprinkle paprika or chilli powder on top and chill briefly before serving.
