On Monday my friends and I are having a Friendsgiving dinner and then the following week is actual Thanksgiving which means over the next couple of weeks I’m going to be cooking more than any other time in the year. & don’t get me wrong, I cook often, just not all the time. I don’t prefer cooking but I’m pretty good at it. I’ve said it before, if I cook for you then know you are cared for by me. Let’s just leave it at that.
The people I’ll be cooking for at the next few gatherings are some of the most important people in my life so you know I gotta show up with my best stuff. I’m kind of known around here for my Deviled Eggs, for years now…a sort of Deviled Egg Queen if you will.
I’m very modest about it clearly.
You want to know something crazy? I was never a huge fan of eggs growing up. Ok, that’s putting it lightly, I hated eggs. I hated the way they looked, raw and several ways cooked, I’m looking at you sunny side up. I hated the rotten way they smelled when you boiled them and I hated that my brother wanted them almost every single morning and that he put ketchup on them like some kind of monster! Gag! Just typing it out makes my stomach turn.
It took me many, many, many years before eggs became something I’d ever order off of a menu or look for at a party and you can thank good ol’ Deviled Eggs for that transformation. When done correctly, Deviled Eggs are the perfect little snack, a delicious blend of creamy with a bit of tang, not completely terrible for you and super easy to make. For years now, I’ve brought these very eggs I’m about to share with you to gathering after gathering and am always asked my secret…I have none, it was all trial and error. So today I’ve decided to save you the time by laying it all out in an easy to follow recipe. Pin this post for later and make these for your next game day, holiday gathering or appetizer at home. Plus check out these killer display plates if you’re really trying to stunt!
If you said no Paprika you can leave right now! A deviled egg is not a deviled egg without the paprika sprinkle to complete the dish. Don’t @ me!
Deviled Eggs with Dill and Paprika for a fresh side dish to wow friends and family at tailgates, holiday gatherings and more.
Boil and peel eggs
Slice eggs lengthwise. Remove yolk center and place in small bowl. Save outer whites of eggs for later use.
In the small bowl combine yolk centers with Mayo, adding a little at a time and stirring until you reach your desired consistency. You'll want it smooth enough for a piping bag.
Once blended add Ground Mustard, Pepper, 1/4 tsp of dill and Salt. Taste and adjust to preference.
Scoop blended mixture into piping bag then equally distribute mixture between egg whites.
Sprinkle Paprika and remaining Dill over tray of eggs as garnish
Refrigerate and then serve cold
