Rich Deviled Eggs image

When it comes to this iconic appetizer, the devil is in the details: The eggs cook for exactly eight minutes, and then a food processor is used to whirl butter into the yolks for extra pilllowy creaminess. Once you've cracked the technique with the original version, venture out of your shell with three delicious variations.

Time 30m

Yield Makes 12

Number Of Ingredients 6

6 large eggs
1/4 cup mayonnaise
1 tablespoon softened unsalted butter
2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
Ground paprika, for sprinkling

Steps:

  • Prepare an ice bath. In a medium pot, cover eggs with cold water; bring to a boil. Remove from heat, cover, and let stand 8 minutes. Drain and transfer eggs to ice bath. When cool enough to handle, peel and halve lengthwise.
  • Transfer yolks to a food processor. Add mayonnaise, butter, and mustard; season with salt and pepper. Process, pausing to scrape sides of bowl, until smooth. Transfer mixture to a piping bag fitted with a tip or to a resealable plastic bag. If using a plastic bag, snip one corner. Squeeze filling into each egg-white half. Sprinkle with paprika and serve.
