Step by Step Instructions
- Start by bringing a large pot of water to a boil. Leave some empty space in the pot, but enough water to cover the eggs fully. Add room temperature eggs to the boiling water and boil for 12 minutes. Remove the eggs from the boiling water, and immediately add it to an ice bath. Let them cool for 5-10 minutes.
- Once completely cooled, peel the eggs and slice them into halves going lengthwise. Remove the egg yolks from the egg whites and add the egg yolks to a medium sized mixing bowl.
- To the mixing bowl, add the mayonnaise, dijon mustard, apple cider vinegar, salt and pepper. Mash the ingredients together with a fork until smooth and creamy.
- Add the filling to a piping bag or a ziploc baggie with the corner snipped off. Pipe the filling into the hole of the egg whites until the filling is gone. Place the deviled eggs into the refrigerator and allow them to cool for at least 30 minutes. Add your favorite toppings and enjoy!

Easy Egg Peeling
- Some people like to add a splash of vinegar to the boiling water before adding the eggs because it makes it easier to peel.
- You can also gently crack the eggs before adding it to the ice bath.
- Lastly, you can try the tap and roll method. Just gently tap the top and the bottom of the egg against a hard surface until it cracks, then gently roll the egg under your hand against the surface and peel off the skin easily.
Storage – You can store the deviled eggs in the fridge, covered for 2-3 days. You can absolutely prepare these a day ahead of time and keep them in the fridge. Just garnish before you serve! I do not recommend freezing them.
