1. Boil the Eggs
Place the eggs in a medium saucepan and cover them with water, ensuring the water is about an inch above the eggs. Bring the water to a boil over high heat, then remove the saucepan from the heat and let the eggs sit in the hot water for 10 minutes.
2. Prepare an Ice Bath
While the eggs are cooking, prepare an ice bath by filling a large bowl with 4 cups of cold water and 4 cups of ice cubes. Once the eggs have finished cooking, use a slotted spoon to transfer them to the ice bath. Allow them to cool for about 5 minutes.
3. Peel and Halve the Eggs
After the eggs have cooled, peel them and slice each one in half lengthwise with a paring knife. Carefully remove the yolks and place them in a small bowl.
4. Mash the Yolks
Mash the yolks with a fork until no large lumps remain.
5. Prepare the Filling
Add the mayonnaise, cider vinegar, whole-grain mustard, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper to the mashed yolks. Use a rubber spatula to mix everything together, mashing the mixture against the side of the bowl until it is smooth.
6. Fill the Egg Whites
Fit a pastry bag with a large open-star or plain tip. Fill the bag with the yolk mixture and twist the top to push the mixture toward the tip. Pipe the yolk mixture into each egg white half, mounding it about ½ inch above the flat surface of the whites.
Add a small amount of truffle oil or finely grated truffle to the yolk mixture for a decadent, earthy flavor. This pairs well with a sprinkle of parmesan cheese on top.
Replace some of the mayonnaise with mashed avocado for a creamier texture and a hint of green. Add lime juice and cilantro for a fresh, zesty flavor.
Mix in finely chopped cooked bacon and shredded sharp cheddar cheese for a savory and indulgent variation. Garnish with additional bacon bits.
Top with a small shrimp, a piece of smoked salmon or a sprinkle of crab meat for a luxurious seafood twist.
Incorporate flavors like diced sun-dried tomatoes, crumbled feta cheese, olives, and a sprinkle of oregano or za'atar to give your deviled eggs a Mediterranean twist.
