Ingredients

Scale

Eggs

  • 6 large eggs

Filling

  • 3 tablespoons mayonnaise
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • 1/4 cup finely chopped green olives
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste

Garnishes (optional)

  • Chopped fresh parsley or chives
  • Small slices of green olive

Instructions

  1. Hard Boil the Eggs: Place large eggs in a single layer in a pot and cover with cold water by about one inch. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 10 to 12 minutes. Once cooked, transfer the eggs to an ice bath to cool completely, which makes peeling easier and helps prevent overcooking.
  2. Prepare the Filling: Peel the cooled eggs carefully and slice them in half lengthwise. Remove the yolks and place them in a mixing bowl. Add mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, salt, pepper, and finely chopped green olives. Mash or whisk the mixture until smooth but still slightly textured from the olives.
  3. Fill the Egg Whites: Using a spoon or piping bag, fill each egg white half generously with the yolk mixture. Ensure the filling reaches the edges for a full-flavored bite in every piece.
  4. Garnish and Serve: Sprinkle chopped fresh parsley or chives on top of the filled eggs. Optionally, add a small slice of green olive on each egg for extra flair. Serve chilled or at room temperature.

Notes

  • Use slightly older eggs for easier peeling after boiling.
  • Chop olives finely for balanced flavor and smooth filling texture.
  • Use a piping bag with a star tip for a cleaner, prettier presentation.
  • Taste the filling before stuffing eggs to adjust salt and seasoning.
  • Keep the deviled eggs chilled until ready to serve for best flavor and safety.
