Ingredients
- 6 large eggs
- 1/4 cup mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1/4 cup diced fresh mozzarella
- 1/4 cup diced tomatoes
- 2 tablespoon fresh basil, chopped
- Salt and pepper to taste

1. Place the eggs in a saucepan, cover with water, and bring to a boil. Cook for 10 minutes, then transfer the eggs to an ice water bath to cool completely. Peel the shells off the eggs, revealing the perfectly cooked yolks.
2. Slice the eggs in half lengthwise and carefully remove the yolks, placing them in a bowl. Mash the yolks with a fork until smooth and creamy.
3. To the mashed yolks, add the mayonnaise and Dijon mustard. Stir until the mixture is well combined and silky. Gently fold in the diced mozzarella, tomatoes, and chopped basil. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
4. Using a spoon or a piping bag, carefully fill the egg white halves with the creamy yolk mixture. Distribute the filling evenly among the egg whites.
5. Arrange the filled Italian Caprese Deviled Eggs on a serving platter and garnish with additional chopped basil, if desired. Serve chilled and savor the perfect balance of flavors in every bite.
