Equipment
- 1 Saucepan
- 1 Fork
- 1 Cutting Board
- 1 Knife
Ingredients
- 6 to 12 Eggs
- 1/4 to 1/2 cup Mayonnaise
- 1 to 2 tablespoons Dijon Mustard
- Salt
- Black Pepper
Instructions
- Begin by placing the eggs in a saucepan and covering them with cold water. Bring the water to a boil and let the eggs cook for 10-12 minutes. Transfer them to a bowl of ice water to cool quickly.
- Once cooled, carefully peel and halve the eggs. Remove the yolks and mash them until smooth in a mixing bowl.
- Season the mashed yolks with mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper. Mix until smooth and adjust seasoning to taste.
- Fill each egg white half with the yolk mixture using a spoon or piping bag.
- Optional: Sprinkle paprika over the filled eggs for decoration and garnish with chopped fresh herbs.
- Arrange the dressed eggs on a serving platter and serve immediately or refrigerate until ready to serve.
Notes
- Peeling Tip - After boiling, transfer the eggs to an ice water bath to cool quickly. This helps loosen the eggshell from the egg whites, making them easier to peel.
- Consistency of Filling - Aim for a smooth and creamy consistency when preparing the yolk mixture. This ensures a pleasing texture and easy filling of the egg whites.
