A devilled egg is a nostalgic, classic recipe that is always a hit at a dinner party with friends.
We've served ours with a filling made from Dijon mustard, mayonnaise, paprika and finely chopped chives, mixed well with the cooked egg yolks and piped into the cooked egg whites for a sophisticated and easy to grab canape option.
Serve with Champagne or Prosecco to cut through the fattiness from the egg and mayonnaise.

Ingredients
8 medium eggs
1 tsp. Dijon mustard
4 Tbsp. mayonnaise
1 tsp. white wine vinegar
2 pinches paprika, plus extra to garnish
1 Tbsp. freshly chopped chives, plus extra to garnish
Directions
Step 1
Put the eggs in a pan (without cracking them) and just cover with cold water. Bring to the boil, then turn down the heat and simmer for 7min. Drain and quickly run under cold water to cool.
Step 2
Peel the eggs and halve each through their lengths. Use a teaspoon to scoop the yolks carefully into a medium sized bowl and arrange the whites hole-side up on a platter.
Step 3
Mash the yolks with a fork, then mix in the remaining ingredients and season to taste.
Step 4
Pipe or use teaspoons to fill the whites with the yolk mix. Garnish with paprika and chives, if you like, and serve.
