But first before we can make deviled eggs, we need to boil the eggs. It’s not that hard to do, but for some reason, come people can have a difficult time getting the perfect hard boiled egg.

How to Boil Eggs

For some people the thought of boiling eggs and then peeling them can be a nightmare.  When I was first married I didn’t know too much about cooking but I knew how to boil an egg. Here’s the way I like to boil eggs:

• Place the eggs in a pot and cover them with COLD water.
• Heat over high heat until the water begins to boil.
• Allow the eggs to boil for two minutes.
• Remove the pot from the heat and cover with the pot’s lid.
• Let the eggs sit in the hot water for another 10 minutes.
• Drain the eggs and serve them warm OR add cold water to the pot along with a handful of ice cubes to allow them to cool.

Ingredients

Make sure you print out the recipe below and save it for later!

• 6 hard boiled eggs
• ½ cup mayonnaise
• 2 tsp. mustard - I used brown mustard.  You can definitely use Dijon!
• salt and pepper to taste
• chopped chives

Directions

Step 1: Prepare the Eggs

Slice the eggs in half and scoop out the yolks into a separate bowl.  The easiest way to get the yolks out without breaking the egg whites is to use a melon baller.

Make sure you mash the egg yolks really well.  There's nothing worse than a chunky deviled egg.

Step 2: How to Fill the Eggs

You can use two spoons or you can pipe the egg yolk mixture into the egg white halves.  The easy way to fill a pastry bag is use a drinking glass.

Fold the pastry bag down over the drinking glass and then spoon in the filling.  Then just pull the pastry bag up and everything is clean and ready to pipe.

Step 3: Serving Tips

Arrange the eggs on the egg platter and sprinkle with the chopped chives.

How to Store Leftover Deviled Eggs

Leftover deviled eggs can be stored in the refrigerator for several days, but may not look as pretty. They'll still taste amazing, so if you have leftovers, enjoy them!
