How To Make deviled eggs 101 simplified

  • Step 1
    Hard cook eggs by simmering in water for 10 minutes.
  • Step 2
    Put in running cold water to cool enough to handle.
  • Step 3
    Peel the eggs, slice in half lengthwise.
  • Step 4
    Put the yolks in a bowl and mash with a fork.
  • Step 5
    Add your mayo, mustard, salt and pepper. If you like extras now is the time to add them. My family likes them plain and simple.
  • Step 6
    Fill the cavities with yolk mixture. These are so much prettier if piped on, but you can just spoon in teaspoons to fill.
  • Step 7
    Decorate with your choice of toppings, around the holidays I like paprika and dill to give them the colors of the season.
