- 1/4 cup mayonnaise
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 splash of vodka (optional)
- 1 tablespoon coffee liqueur (such as Kahlúa)
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- Fresh chives for garnish
Instructions:
1. Prepare the Eggs:
- Begin by hard-boiling the eggs. Place them in a saucepan, cover with water, and bring to a boil.
- Once boiling, reduce the heat and let the eggs simmer for about 9-12 minutes.

- Once cooled, peel the eggs and slice them in half lengthwise.
2. Create the Deviled Egg Mixture:
- Gently scoop out the yolks from the egg halves and place them in a bowl.
- Add mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, a splash of vodka (if desired), coffee liqueur, salt, and black pepper to the yolks.
- Mash and mix these ingredients together until you achieve a smooth and creamy consistency.
3. Fill the Egg Halves:
- You can use a piping bag or a spoon to fill the egg white halves with the deviled egg mixture.
- Ensure each egg half is generously filled for a creamy delight.
4. Garnish with Chives:
- To add a finishing touch, garnish each deviled egg with freshly chopped chives.
5. Serve and Enjoy:
- Your White Russian Deviled Eggs are now ready to serve. Arrange them on a plate or a platter, and get ready to impress your fellow cinephile and foodie friends.
