Equipment

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Place eggs in a saucepan and cover with cold water by 1 inch. Bring to a boil over high heat, then immediately remove from heat, cover, and let stand for 10-12 minutes.
  2. Drain the hot water and transfer the eggs to an ice bath for 5 minutes to cool completely, then carefully peel the cooled eggs.
  3. Halve each egg lengthwise and gently scoop out the yolks, placing them in a medium bowl; arrange the whites on a platter.
  4. Mash the yolks with a fork until smooth, then stir in mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, white vinegar, salt, and pepper until well combined for the basic mixture.
Making the Variations
  1. Divide the basic yolk mixture into 5 equal portions, each forming the base for one deviled egg recipe.
  2. For Smoky Deviled Eggs, mix one portion with crumbled bacon and smoked paprika.
  3. For Spicy Deviled Eggs, combine another portion with sriracha and chopped jalapeño.
  4. For Herby Deviled Eggs, blend a portion with fresh chopped dill and chives.
  5. For Pesto Deviled Eggs, mix a portion with basil pesto until well incorporated.
  6. The last portion remains as Classic Deviled Eggs; pipe or spoon each mixture back into the egg whites and garnish as desired.

Notes

For best results, prepare eggs a day ahead and chill overnight; adjust seasonings to taste for each variation before serving.
