Step-by-Step Beginner-Friendly Instructions
1. Boil the eggs
Place eggs in a saucepan and cover with water. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer for 10–12 minutes.
2. Cool the eggs
Transfer eggs to a bowl of ice water and allow them to cool for about 5 minutes. This helps make peeling easier.
3. Peel and slice
Peel the eggs and cut them lengthwise. Carefully remove the yolks and place them in a bowl.
4. Make the filling
Mash the yolks with mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, salt, and pepper until smooth and creamy.
5. Fill the egg whites
Spoon or pipe the yolk mixture back into the egg white halves.
6. Create the flavor flight

- Cheesy Crunch: cheddar + crispy onions
- Fresh Style: avocado + herbs 🥑
7. Arrange and serve

💡 Pro Tips
1. Easy peeling trick
Use eggs that are about a week old, as they peel more easily than very fresh eggs.
2. Smooth filling
For an extra creamy filling, blend the yolk mixture in a food processor.
3. Make ahead option
Prepare the egg whites and filling separately and assemble them just before serving.
4. Flavor variety idea
Create additional toppings like buffalo, garlic herb, or dill pickle for even more variety.
