Honey Devilled Eggs

Instructions

1. 1

   Place eggs in a pot, cover with cold water, and bring to a boil. Once boiling, remove from heat, cover, and let sit for 12 minutes.

   Tip: Starting with cold water ensures even cooking throughout the egg.

2. 2

   Transfer eggs to an ice bath and let cool for 5 minutes. Gently peel and rinse under cold water to remove any shell fragments.

   Tip: The ice bath stops the cooking process and makes peeling easier.

3. 3

   Slice each cooled egg in half lengthwise. Carefully scoop out the yolks into a small bowl, leaving the whites intact.

   Tip: A small spoon works better than a knife for scooping without damaging the delicate whites.

4. 4

   Mash the yolks with a fork until smooth. Add mayonnaise, honey, Dijon mustard, white vinegar, paprika, salt, and black pepper to the yolks. Stir until well combined and creamy.

   Tip: Taste and adjust sweetness or tanginess to your preference before filling.

5. 5

   Transfer the filling to a piping bag or small spoon. Pipe or spoon the mixture generously into each egg white half.

   Tip: A piping bag creates a more polished presentation, but a regular spoon works perfectly fine too.

6. 6

   Sprinkle the filled eggs with additional paprika and the fresh chopped chives. Refrigerate until ready to serve.

   Tip: These are best served chilled and can be made up to 4 hours ahead.
