    Ingredients

    • 8 large eggs
    • 1/3 cup light mayonnaise
    • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
    • 1 teaspoon white-wine vinegar
    • 1 tablespoon minced shallot
    • 1/4 teaspoon hot sauce, such as Tabasco
    • Coarse salt and ground pepper
    • Paprika, for garnish

    Directions

    1. Place eggs in a medium saucepan; add cold water to cover by 1 inch. Bring to a rolling boil. Remove pan from heat; cover, and let stand 13 minutes. Drain, and run eggs under cold water to cool them.
    2. Meanwhile, in a medium bowl, mix together mayonnaise, mustard, vinegar, shallot, and hot sauce.
    3. Peel eggs, and halve lengthwise; remove yolks, leaving whites intact. Transfer yolks to bowl with mayonnaise mixture, and season with salt and pepper. Mash with a fork until smooth.
    4. Mound yolk mixture into whites. Sprinkle with paprika just before serving, or cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate up to 8 hours.

      I love my deviled eggs tangy. This recipe has the perfect ratio of egg yolk to ingredients. I did use spicy mustard. YUM

      I use Honey Mustard salad dressing instead of mayo and mustard. Garnish with pimento or capers.

      This recipe is good if you like the overpowering taste of vinegar, Dijon mustard, and onion... I thought this recipe was grotesque, I wanted Deviled eggs soo bad and this recipe ruined my night!

      has anyone substituted apple cider vinegar for white wine vinegar, or just omitted the vinegar?

      This recipe is perfect if you use Hellman's mayonnaise

      I only added the mayo, mustard, salt, pepper from the recipe but I added a pinch of curry powder to the mixture and garnished with a tiny sprig of dill and a sprinkling of paprika. Amazing!

      A touch of anchovy paste does wonders for any deviled egg recipe!
