The name “deviled eggs” is taken from the ancient Romans, who deviled their boiled eggs with interestingly flavored pestos.

Since then, over the ages, as civilization developed, the recipe turned into the one constant which can be called a staple diet of most cultures. Deviled eggs have been one of the most popular appetizers in the United States since the 19th century and still are.
Ingredients
Ingredients for perfect deviled eggs are as follows:-
- 12 large eggs
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise

- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

- Chives or parsley for garnish, if desired
Step-by-Step Directions ※
1.Prepare your Eggs
1. Hard boil the eggs: Line the bottom of a large saucepan with your eggs. Add cold water to the top to cover the eggs by about an inch of water. Turn the water on to boil at a medium-high heat level.
2. Let it simmer and cook: Allow the saucepan with eggs covered by the boiling water to switch off the heat source for 10 to 12 minutes.
3. Rinse the eggs: Transfer the eggs to an ice bath and let it be there for at least 5 minutes. This will help stop more cooking and will help peel easily.
2. Peel the Eggs
1. Tap and roll: Do this to each egg on a hard surface then carefully roll the egg between your hands to loose the shell.
2. Peel with care: On the big end of the egg, peel where it is at the air pocket. Rinze under cool water to remove remaining shell.
3. Make the Filling
1. Slice the eggs: Cut the eggs in half, lengthwise. Take the yolks out into a medium-sized bowl—place the egg whites onto a serving platter.
2. Mash the yolks: Use a fork and mash them well.
3. Mix up the filling: Add to the crumbled yolks the mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, apple cider vinegar, salt, pepper, and paprika. The mixture should be smooth and creamy.
4. Fill the Egg Whites
1. Pipe or spoon the filling: Use the yolk mixture to fill the egg whites by piping or spooning. Pipes should have the end snipped off, then pipe the filling into each egg white half.
2. Garnish: Sprinkle on a little more paprika for color. Additional chopped chives, finely on top, or even parsley, can add freshness.
5. Serve and Enjoy
1. Chill: Allow it to be in the refrigerator for at least half an hour to let the ingredients soak into it.
2. Serve: Just fill in the prepared yolk mixture into the egg whites, and voilà—there you have one—neat appetizer to serve in your next get-together, be it with friends or family.
Tips to a Perfect Deviled Egg
1. Fresh eggs vs. older eggs: There are occasions when it seems that the freshest of the eggs go to be that little bit more painful to peel. If you use some that are a few days older than really fresh, it does make them easier to peel.
2. Flavor variations: You can use pickle relish, hot sauce, or even bacon bits for flavor variations of deviled eggs.
3. Presentation: Pipe with a star tip some presentation oomph into the egg whites. Also follow us on Medium and Pinterest.
