Classic Deviled Eggs

Classic Deviled Eggs

Deviled eggs are one of the most-searched party snacks there is, and they haven't gone out of style for a reason.

I.G.P. Sicilia 05's warm spice note gets its moment in the paprika finish on top.

Ingredients

  • 6 large eggs
  • 1/4 cup mayonnaise
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 teaspoon I.G.P. Sicilia 05, plus more for drizzling
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • Paprika, for dusting

Instructions

  1. Place the eggs in a single layer in a pot and cover with cold water by about an inch.
  2. Bring to a boil over high heat, then cover the pot, remove from heat, and let the eggs sit undisturbed 11 minutes.
  3. Transfer the eggs immediately to a bowl of ice water and let cool at least 5 minutes, this stops the cooking and makes them much easier to peel.
  4. Peel the cooled eggs, then slice each in half lengthwise and gently pop out the yolks into a bowl, arranging the whites cut-side up on a plate.
  5. Mash the yolks with a fork until no lumps remain, then mix in the mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, I.G.P. Sicilia 05, salt, and pepper until smooth and creamy.
  6. Spoon the filling into a piping bag or a zip-top bag with the corner snipped off, and pipe the mixture back into each egg white half.
  7. Finish with a light drizzle of I.G.P. Sicilia 05 and a dusting of paprika before serving.
