Cook Time: 15 mins
Total Time: 25 mins
Cuisine: American
Serves: 12 servings
Ingredients
- 6 large eggs
- 3 tbsp mayonnaise
- 1 tbsp honey
- 1 tbsp Dijon mustard
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Paprika for garnish
Instructions
- Begin by placing the 6 large eggs in a saucepan and covering them with cold water, ensuring the water is about an inch above the eggs.
- Place the saucepan on the stove over medium-high heat. Bring the water to a rolling boil.
- Once the water reaches a boil, cover the saucepan with a lid and remove it from the heat. Let the eggs sit in the hot water for about 12 minutes.
- After 12 minutes, carefully transfer the eggs to a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process. Let them cool for about 5 minutes.
- Once the eggs are cool, gently tap them on a hard surface to crack the shell, then peel the eggs under running water for easier removal.
- Cut each peeled egg in half lengthwise and carefully remove the yolks, placing them in a mixing bowl. Set the egg whites aside on a serving platter.
- To the bowl with the yolks, add 3 tablespoons of mayonnaise, 1 tablespoon of honey, and 1 tablespoon of Dijon mustard.
- Using a fork, mash the yolk mixture until smooth and well combined. Season with salt and pepper to taste, mixing thoroughly.
- Using a spoon or a piping bag, fill each egg white half with the yolk mixture, mounding it slightly on top.
- Once all the egg whites are filled, sprinkle a light dusting of paprika over the top of each deviled egg for garnish.
- Serve the honey mustard deviled eggs immediately, or refrigerate until ready to serve. Enjoy your delicious appetizer!
Tips
- Perfectly Boiled Eggs: For the best results, ensure you start with fresh eggs. The ice water bath is crucial for making the peeling process much easier and preventing any unsightly cracks in your egg whites.
- Customize the Filling: Feel free to add your favorite ingredients to the yolk mixture, such as chopped herbs, a dash of hot sauce for some heat, or even crumbled bacon for a savory twist.
- Presentation Matters: Use a piping bag to fill the egg whites for a beautiful presentation, or simply use a spoon for a more rustic look. Either way, a sprinkle of paprika adds a touch of color and flavor.
- Make Ahead: These deviled eggs can be made a few hours in advance. Just cover them with plastic wrap and refrigerate until ready to serve to save time during your event.
- Serving Suggestions: Pair these honey mustard deviled eggs with a refreshing salad or serve alongside a cheese platter for a well-rounded appetizer spread.
