Deviled Eggs with Apple Cider Vinegar

Deviled eggs will always be a favorite at our home. My guys gobble them up like crazy, and there really is no better easy appetizer. When I remember to make them, I always wonder why I don’t whip them up more often.

I love the tang of apple cider vinegar and use it in many recipes, including my momma’s Creamy Potato Salad. This vinegar is great in salad dressings too, especially my Light Honey Mustard Dressing and the dressing I use in the Best Cucumber Salad!

How to make Classic Deviled Eggs:

Classic Deviled Eggs are unbelievably simple to make. Keep on reading the easy steps below!

Step 1
Cook eggs. Cook your eggs (using either the stove top method or the instant pot – directions below) and cool off in an ice bath. When cool, remove eggs to a clean towel.

Step 3
Peel eggs. Carefully peel the eggs, and use a sharp knife to cut in half (the long way).

Step 4
Remove yolks. Then remove the egg yolks, and place in a mixing bowl. Mash with a fork.

Step 5
Make filling. Add remaining ingredients to the yolks – the mayo, sugar, vinegar, mustard, salt, and pepper – and stir to combine.

Step 6
Pipe filling. Use a piping tip (or just a spoon) to fill the egg whites with the yolk mixture.

Side shutoff a piping bag full of the filling next to a plate of egg whites.

Step 7
Add toppings. Add a sprinkle of smoked paprika or seasonings of your choice.

SERVE these deviled eggs on a large tray. Leftovers will last 4-5 days in the refrigerator.

How to make perfectly boiled eggs:

I use one of two methods to make my eggs for this recipe.

  1. Stove-top Method. Place eggs in a small pan, cover with water and a big shake of salt or baking soda. Secure lid, and bring to a boil. Turn burner off, and keep your pan on burner with the lid on. Set timer to 11 minutes, and when timer is at zero, remove the eggs to an ice bath. When cooled, peel eggs.
  2. Instant Pot Method. Place eggs in the egg wire rack in instant pot. Pour in one cup of water, secure lid, and set to pressure cook for two minutes, with a 10 minute natural release. When finished, remove eggs to an ice bath. When cooled, peel eggs.

Pro-Tip: If your eggs are too fresh, they won’t peel well. It’s best to use eggs that you’ve had in your refrigerator for awhile.

My guys were seriously happy the week I tested and re-tested this recipe. I barely snuck one to test myself, because they were loving them so much. Having eager taste-testers is super nice!

Make these for your family and friend celebrations, for Easter or any other holiday, or just because.

Enjoy! 😀

    My grandma raised me, and would make the BEST deviled eggs I’ve ever tasted in my life (and potato salad, which tasted like the same recipe(ish).
    Unfortunately by the time i got to the age I started to enjoy cooking & wanted to make dishes I grew up eating my grandma was on dialysis (her breast cancer returned and spread to her liver and kidney) and ended up passing away before I could get her recipes, & she was the kind of grandma who made everything from scratch, and never wrote anything down. I tried your receipt and they taste just like hers 🖤🖤🖤🖤🥰🤩😍. I just wanted to say thank you SOOOO much. I’m 37, my grandma passed away 8 years ago and was the last family I had left, so to me this was much more than just an awesome recipe I found online. Thank you again for sharing‼️🖤

      Hi Amber! I love hearing this about your grandma and your memories of her cooking. This is so special! You might want to try my potato salad recipe too because it could be similar to your grandma’s!

    I normally make my deviled eggs by just winging it. The other night I was taking them to a celebration and decided to follow your recipe. I did sub miracle whip for the mayo and decreased sugar to compensate. May i say the proportions were spot on! Easy, delicious, creamy, and just right!!! Thanks! Sue
