Description

Creamy, tangy deviled eggs without mustard — made with mayonnaise, apple cider vinegar, and a splash of Worcestershire sauce. This easy 6-ingredient recipe is perfect for Easter, potlucks, and holiday gatherings. Mustard-free, gluten-free, and ready in 20 minutes.

Ingredients 

  • 6 large eggs
  • ¼ cup mayonnaise
  • 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
  • ½ teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
  • ¼ teaspoon kosher salt, or to taste
  • ⅛ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • Paprika, for garnish (smoked paprika preferred)
  • Optional: fresh chives or dill, for garnish

Instructions

  • Boil the eggs. Place the eggs in a single layer in a saucepan and cover with cold water by 1 inch. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Once boiling, cover the pan and remove from heat. Let the eggs stand in the hot water for 12 minutes.
  • Cool in an ice bath. Transfer the eggs to a bowl of ice water and let them sit for at least 5 minutes. This stops the cooking and makes them easier to peel.
  • Peel the eggs. Tap each egg gently to crack the shell, roll it on the counter, and peel under cool running water. Pat dry.
  • Halve and scoop. Slice each egg in half lengthwise. Carefully remove the yolks and place them in a medium bowl. Arrange the egg whites on a serving platter.
  • Make the filling. Mash the yolks with a fork until crumbly. Add the mayonnaise, apple cider vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper. Mix until smooth and creamy. Taste and adjust seasoning.
  • Fill the eggs. Spoon the filling into a piping bag (or a zip-top bag with the corner snipped off) and pipe evenly into each egg white half. Alternatively, use a spoon.
  • Garnish and serve. Sprinkle with paprika and fresh herbs if using. Serve immediately or chill until ready to serve.

Equipment

  • Saucepan

Notes

[Recipe Notes]

  • Older eggs peel more easily. Eggs that are 7–14 days past purchase work best.
  • Make-ahead: prepare the filling up to 24 hours in advance. Store in a piping bag in the fridge and pipe into whites 1–2 hours before serving.
  • Storage: keep in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3–4 days. Do not freeze.
  • For a smoother filling, blend the yolks in a food processor or with a hand mixer.
  • Mustard allergy: verify your Worcestershire sauce label — most major brands are mustard-free, but always check.
  • Substitute apple cider vinegar with white wine vinegar or lemon juice in equal amounts.
