Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 large eggs, hard-boiled and peeled
  • 3 tbsp mayonnaise (preferably Hellmann’s)
  • 1 tsp Dijon mustard
  • 1 tsp apple cider vinegar or lemon juice
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • Smoked paprika, for garnish
  • Fresh chives or parsley, finely chopped (optional)
  • 810 assorted pastries (mini croissants, pain au chocolat, or puff pastry turnovers)
  • Optional: honey or fruit preserves for serving
  • Assorted fresh fruits: strawberries, grapes, orange slices (seasonal options like apricots or cherries)
  • Crisp vegetables: cucumber slices, cherry tomatoes, radishes
  • Mixed nuts (almonds or walnuts), lightly toasted
  • Olives and pickles
  • Soft cheeses like brie or goat cheese (optional)
  • Fresh herbs (mint or basil) for garnish and aroma

Instructions

  1. Place 6 large eggs in a pot and cover with cold water by an inch. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, then cover the pot, turn off heat, and let sit for 12 minutes.
  2. Transfer eggs to ice water immediately for 5 minutes to stop cooking. Peel carefully.
  3. Slice eggs in half lengthwise and remove yolks into a bowl.
  4. Mash yolks with 3 tablespoons mayonnaise, 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard, and 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar or lemon juice. Season with salt and pepper. Mix until smooth but still creamy.
  5. Using a small spoon or piping bag, fill the egg white halves evenly with the yolk mixture.
  6. Sprinkle smoked paprika on top and garnish with chopped chives or parsley if using.
  7. On your serving board, place the deviled eggs first, spaced nicely.
  8. Arrange assorted pastries around the eggs, then fill in gaps with fresh fruits, veggies, nuts, olives, and pickles.
  9. Add cheese wedges or slices if desired.
  10. Scatter fresh herbs over the board for color and aroma.
  11. Optionally, add small bowls of honey or fruit preserves alongside pastries for dipping.
  12. Serve immediately at room temperature or chill deviled eggs before assembling board if preparing ahead.

Notes

Use slightly older eggs for easier peeling. Warm store-bought pastries at 300°F (150°C) for 5 minutes before serving to revive flakiness. Use a piping bag or zip-top bag for neat deviled egg filling. Avoid overcrowding the board to allow easy picking. Store deviled eggs covered in fridge up to 2 days; pastries best fresh or stored at room temperature for 1-2 days.
