Tips for Perfect Deviled Eggs

To achieve the perfect hard-boiled egg for your deviled eggs, consider using older eggs rather than fresh ones. Older eggs peel more easily, preventing frustrating bits of egg white from sticking to the shell. Additionally, cooling the eggs in ice water after boiling helps stop the cooking process and makes them easier to handle.

When it comes to filling your egg whites, using a piping bag can create a beautiful presentation, but a simple spoon works just as well. Don’t be afraid to fill them generously; a well-filled deviled egg is always more appealing. Finally, a sprinkle of paprika not only adds a pop of color but also a hint of smoky flavor that complements the creamy filling.
