Timeless Savory Stuffed Eggs are a classic, crowd-pleasing appetizer that never goes out of style. Perfect for picnics, parties, or a simple family lunch, these eggs are packed with flavor and incredibly easy to make.
Eggs are the star of the show, offering a rich, creamy yolk that forms the base of the filling.
Mayonnaise adds creaminess and binds the yolk mixture together smoothly.
Yellow mustard provides a tangy kick that cuts through the richness of the mayonnaise.
Salt and black pepper season the filling, enhancing all the flavors.
Paprika gives a mild, sweet smokiness and adds a pop of color on top.
White vinegar introduces a slight acidity, balancing the creamy yolk mixture perfectly.
These stuffed eggs are delightful on their own, but you can pair them with a crisp green salad or fresh veggies for a light meal. They also make a great addition to a charcuterie board, offering a creamy contrast to cured meats and cheeses.
Start by placing your eggs in a saucepan, ensuring they're in a single layer. Cover them with water so there's about an inch of water above the eggs. Turn the heat to medium-high and bring the water to a boil. As soon as it reaches a rolling boil, remove the pan from the heat, cover it with a lid, and let it sit for 9 minutes. This method ensures perfectly cooked eggs without that unsightly green ring around the yolks.
While the eggs are resting, prepare an ice bath by filling a large bowl with cold water and ice cubes. Once the 9 minutes are up, carefully transfer the eggs to the ice bath. This stops the cooking process and makes peeling a breeze.
Once cooled, gently tap the eggs on a hard surface to crack the shells, then peel them under running water to remove any stubborn bits. Slice each egg in half lengthwise with a sharp knife. Carefully pop out the yolks and place them in a bowl, setting the whites aside on a serving platter.
Use a fork to mash the yolks until they resemble fine crumbs. Add the mayonnaise, yellow mustard, salt, black pepper, and white vinegar. Mix until the filling is smooth and well combined. You can adjust the seasoning to taste at this point.
Spoon or pipe the yolk mixture back into the egg whites, dividing it evenly among all the halves. Finally, sprinkle with paprika for a touch of color and flavor. Serve immediately, or refrigerate until you're ready to enjoy.
