Equipment

  • dry measuring cups
  • measuring spoons
  • paring knife
  • large stockpot with steamer insert
  • large bowl
  • medium bowl
  • piping bag and star tip (optional)

Ingredients

  • 1 dozen large eggs
  • ½ cup mayonnaise (I use Duke's mayonnaise)
  • 1 tablespoon yellow mustard
  • 1 teaspoon white vinegar
  • Pinch of kosher salt
  • Diced roasted red bell peppers and fresh parsley for garnish

Instructions

  • Pour 1 inch of water in a large saucepan or stockpot. Place a steamer insert or basket inside. Cover and bring the water to a boil. Uncover and add the eggs to the steamer basket in a single layer. Cover and steam for 13 minutes.
  • Uncover and immediately plunge the eggs into a large bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process. Let cool completely. Peel the eggs.
  • Cut the eggs in half crosswise. Scoop out the egg yolks and transfer to a medium bowl, reserving the egg white halves. Mash the yolks with a fork. Add the mayonnaise, mustard, vinegar, and salt and mash until smooth.
  • Transfer the deviled egg filling to a piping bag fitted with a star tip. Pipe the filling evenly into the egg white halves. Garnish with the red pepper and parsley.
