Ingredients Method Nutrition Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 6 large eggs
  • 3 tablespoons mayonnaise
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 teaspoon hot sauce adjust to taste
  • 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 tablespoons finely chopped green onions
  • 1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh parsley

Method
 

  1. Place the eggs in a saucepan and cover them with cold water. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Once boiling, cover the pot, remove it from heat, and let it sit for 12 minutes.
  2. After 12 minutes, transfer the eggs to a bowl of ice water to cool for about 5 minutes. This will make peeling easier.
  3. Peel the cooled eggs and slice them in half lengthwise. Remove the yolks and place them in a mixing bowl.
  4. Mash the yolks with a fork and add the mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, hot sauce, smoked paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Mix until smooth and creamy.
  5. Spoon or pipe the yolk mixture back into the egg whites.
  6. Garnish each deviled egg with chopped green onions and parsley.
  7. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving for the best flavor.
