Preparation
- Step 1
Place the eggs in a pan large enough to hold them in a single layer and cover with cold water. Bring to a boil, cover, turn off the heat and let eggs sit 15 minutes. Drain and run under cold water until eggs are completely cool.
- Step 2
Peel eggs and cut in half lengthwise. Remove the yolks and rub through a fine-mesh strainer into a bowl. Add the mayonnaise, mustard and butter; mix until smooth. Stir in the lemon juice, cayenne, salt and white pepper to taste. Place in a pastry bag or Ziploc bag with a cut-off corner.
- Step 3
Fill the egg whites neatly by pressing bag. Sprinkle with chives.

The butter was a surprise ingredient for me and it gave the eggs an amazingly smooth, rich taste. Thanks.
Very basic deviled eggs recipe. Be careful with lemon juice -- it can overwhelm the taste.
Very good. I’m a southerner who has made and eaten many deviled eggs and this is def one of my top. Especially if you aren’t a fan of relish. Some folks are saying it’s too much mustard, but I think the mustard and butter balance each perfectly. Too much or too little of either and I could see how this would go sideways. 10/10 would recommend (though I still added some paprika garnish because tradition dies hard)
Way too much mustard!

This recipe has a strong Dijon taste so if you aren’t a fan then reduce the amount of Dijon mustard.
