Ingredients

Units Scale

Eggs

  • 6 large eggs

Filling

  • 1/4 cup very finely chopped celery
  • 1/4 cup very finely chopped sweet onion
  • 1/4 cup mayonnaise (low fat is okay, or more to taste)
  • salt to taste
  • dash of Tabasco sauce, or more to taste

Garnish

  • paprika for garnish

Instructions

  1. Boil the eggs: Place the eggs in a medium saucepan and cover with cold water. Bring the water to a boil and immediately remove from heat. Cover the pan and let the eggs stand in the hot water for 15 minutes to cook through.
  2. Cool and peel: Remove the eggs from the hot water and cool them under cold running water or in an ice bath. Once cool, carefully peel the shells off the eggs.
  3. Prepare the filling: Slice the eggs in half lengthwise and carefully remove the yolks. Place the yolks in a medium bowl and mash them together with the finely chopped celery, sweet onion, mayonnaise, salt, and a dash of Tabasco sauce until well combined and creamy.
  4. Fill the egg whites: Spoon or pipe the yolk mixture into the hollowed-out egg white halves. To achieve a decorative look, use an icing bag with a wide tip so the chunky filling passes through smoothly.
  5. Garnish and chill: Sprinkle the filled eggs with paprika for color and flavor. Cover the deviled eggs and chill them in the refrigerator until ready to serve, about 20 minutes.

Notes

  • Use a brand of mayonnaise that is certified gluten-free if preparing this recipe for a gluten-free diet.
  • For easier peeling, use eggs that are a few days old rather than very fresh eggs.
  • Adjust the level of Tabasco or other hot sauce to your taste preference.
  • To save time, eggs can be boiled in advance and stored peeled in the refrigerator for up to 2 days before preparing.
