Jamie Oliver Devilled Eggs Recipe

Jamie Oliver Devilled Eggs recipe

Devilled eggs are a retro-style appetizer made by halving hard-boiled eggs, removing the yolks, and mixing them with ingredients like mayonnaise, mustard, and seasonings. Jamie’s version adds a hint of tang and spice, with an emphasis on bold, fresh flavor. The yolk filling is then spooned or piped back into the whites for a neat, eye-catching presentation.

Ingredients

  • Large Eggs (6)

  • Mayonnaise (3 tbsp)

  • Dijon or English Mustard (1 tsp)

  • White Wine Vinegar or Lemon Juice (½ tsp)

  • Sea Salt (to taste)

  • Freshly Ground Black Pepper (to taste)

  • Paprika (for garnish)

  • Optional: Chopped chives, parsley, or chili flakes

Jamie-style tip: Use free-range eggs and fresh herbs for the best flavor.
