Ingredients:

  • 6 hard-boiled eggs, peeled and halved
  • 3 tablespoons mayonnaise
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 teaspoon white vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon Old Bay seasoning (plus extra for garnish)
  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • Fresh chives or parsley, finely chopped (for garnish)

Instructions:

  1. Prepare the Hard-Boiled Eggs: Boil the eggs until hard-cooked, then peel and cut them in half lengthwise. Carefully remove the yolks and place them in a bowl.
  2. Create the Filling: Mash the egg yolks with a fork until they form a smooth, crumbly texture. Add mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, white vinegar, Old Bay seasoning, paprika, salt, and black pepper to the mashed yolks. Mix until the ingredients are well combined.
  3. Fill the Egg Whites: Spoon or pipe the yolk mixture back into the egg white halves. Ensure a generous and even distribution of the flavorful filling.
  4. Garnish with Old Bay: Sprinkle a pinch of Old Bay seasoning over each deviled egg for an extra burst of flavor and a touch of Chesapeake Bay charm.
  5. Add Freshness: Garnish the deviled eggs with finely chopped fresh chives or parsley. This adds a touch of color and a hint of herbal freshness.
  6. Chill and Serve: Refrigerate the Old Bay Deviled Eggs for at least 30 minutes before serving. This allows the flavors to meld and the eggs to chill for optimal enjoyment.
