Tips for Making Deviled Eggs:

Ice water: Hard boil the eggs with on the stove top or in your Instant Pot. Just be sure to put the hard boiled eggs in a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking and make them easier to peel. Prepare the eggs: Slice the peeled eggs lengthwise. To make a nice clean cut to keep the egg whites from getting yolk all over them, simply give your knife a quick rinse or wipe in between cuts. Egg yolks: Transfer the egg yolks to a separate bowl. Use either a fork or a masher to mash the yolks and combine them with the mayo, dijon mustard or regular mustard and salt. You really need to mix the egg yolks well until they are light and creamy. If the mixture seems dry or clumpy, add more mayonnaise. You can’t over mix this part. Piping the egg mixture: Add the egg yolk mixture back to the egg white. If you don’t care about presentation, a couple small spoons will do the trick. But, if you want your deviled eggs to look fancy, it’s worth the time, effort, and extra clean up to use a pastry bag with a large star tip.
