Instructions
Follow these steps to bring your Deviled Egg Bar to life:
- Place the eggs in a single layer in a saucepan and cover them with water. Bring the water to a boil over high heat. Once boiling, cover the pan, turn off the heat, and let the eggs sit for 12 minutes.
- Transfer the eggs to an ice bath to cool for at least 5 minutes. This step ensures easy peeling.
- Once cooled, peel the eggs and slice them in half lengthwise. Gently remove the yolks and place them in a mixing bowl.
- Mash the yolks with a fork and mix in mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, vinegar, salt, and pepper until smooth and creamy. Adjust seasoning to taste.
- Spoon or pipe the yolk mixture back into the egg whites, dividing it evenly among the halves.
- Arrange the filled eggs on a platter and set out a variety of toppings in small bowls. Encourage guests to garnish their eggs as they desire.
- Enjoy the creativity and conversation that naturally flows as everyone designs their perfect deviled egg.
