Devilishly easy eggs

Devilled eggs are quite the classic dish and are served up as appetisers at many a party.

While the simplest of the recipes call only for a little bit of mayonnaise and spice to be mixed in with the egg yolk, you can try out variations of it as well.

The basic method remains the same — the yolk is scooped out of a hard-boiled egg, mixed with the condiments and then filled back into the halved whites.

Try these two fillings — they’re easy to make, and we promise, delicious.  
 
Classic Devilled Eggs

Ingredients
6 eggs, boiled, peeled and halved lengthwise
¼ cup mayonnaise
1 tsp white vinegar
1 tsp yellow mustard
Salt and pepper to taste
1 tsp paprika

Method
Carefully remove the yolks from the boiled egg halves, using a teaspoon. Place in a bowl and then mash, using a fork or spoon until the mixture is creamy in texture.
Add the other ingredients to the yolk: the mayonnaise, white vinegar, yellow mustard and salt and pepper. Mix well and check the seasoning.
Scoop the yolk mixture into the egg whites, using a teaspoon to fill them evenly. You can also use a piping bag to fill in the egg whites with the yolk filling. For the garnish, sprinkle the eggs with paprika.
Arrange on a serving platter and serve immediately, or store in the refrigerator.
