Equipment

Medium pot
mixing bowl
Piping bag optional

Ingredients

12 eggs
1/3 cup mayonnaise
2 tablespoon mustard
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1 pinch salt
Paprika or chopped parsley for garnish optional

Instructions

Place eggs in a medium sized pot and add just enough water to cover them. Bring water to a boil.
12 eggs
Once water has come to a full boil, cover and remove from heat. Let sit covered for 12-13 minutes. In the meantime, fill a bowl with ice and cold water.
When time is up, remove the eggs from the pan and add them to the ice water bath for at least 5 minutes. This will make them much easier to peel.
Peel the eggs, making sure to remove any small pieces of shell.
Slice the hard-boiled eggs in half lengthwise, and remove the yolk. Place the yolk into a separate bowl and place the egg whites on a serving platter.
To make the filling, mash the cooked egg yolks in the bowl until crumbly.
Add the mayonnaise, mustard, salt and pepper and stir until combined and smooth.
1/3 cup mayonnaise, 2 tablespoon mustard, 1 pinch salt, 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
Place the the deviled egg into an icing bag and pipe the filling back into the egg whites. If you don't have a piping bag, you can spoon the filling into the eggs instead.
Sprinkle with paprika or chopped parsley. Enjoy!

Notes

You can make this recipe up to 2 days in advance. Just be sure to cover tightly so that the yolk filling doesn't dry out.
