Springtime Deviled Eggs
What’s Easter brunch without deviled eggs? With so many deviled egg recipes, it can feel daunting to select one, but this recipe from Kelly Reci of Kelly’s Thoughts On Things may become your new Easter brunch staple. It’s just as easy to make as it is delicious to eat. The best part of Kelly’s recipe is the cream cheese mixture that is added to the egg yolks. This gives the eggs a smooth texture and an extra punch of flavor.
Springtime Deviled Eggs
Ingredients
- 3 hard-boiled eggs
- 3 tbsp mayonnaise
- 1 tsp Dijon mustard
- 2 tbsp cream cheese softened
- Salt & pepper
- 1 piping bag
- Paprika for garnish
Instructions
- Once your eggs are boiled, allow them to cool completely. This will make the peeling process much easier.
- Once you have peeled your eggs, slice them in half and scoop out the yolk. Place yolks in a bowl and mix thoroughly with your mayonnaise, mustard and cream cheese. Add salt and pepper.
- Place yolk mixture in a piping bag (or alternatively, a sandwich bag where a small slit has been cut out in one corner), and carefully pipe filling back into your egg halves. Garnish with paprika and enjoy!
