How to Make Classic Deviled Eggs
Hard-Boil the Eggs
Place eggs in a saucepan, cover with water, and bring to a boil. Once boiling, turn off heat, cover, and let sit for 10–12 minutes. Cool under cold water and peel.
Halve and Remove Yolks
Slice each egg in half lengthwise. Gently scoop out the yolks into a mixing bowl and place the whites on a serving platter.
Make the Filling
Mash the yolks with a fork, then mix in mayonnaise, mustard, vinegar (or pickle juice), salt, and pepper. Blend until smooth and creamy.
Fill the Eggs
Spoon or pipe the yolk mixture back into the egg white halves.
Garnish and Serve
Lightly sprinkle with paprika for that traditional touch. Serve immediately or chill until ready to serve.
Tips for the Best Deviled Eggs
💧 Use older eggs – They’re easier to peel after boiling.
🥄 Use a piping bag – Makes filling neater and more elegant (a zip-top bag with the corner cut works too).
❄️ Chill before serving – The flavors meld beautifully when cold.
🧂 Taste as you go – Adjust seasoning to your preference.
Variations to Try
Spicy Deviled Eggs – Add a dash of hot sauce, cayenne, or chopped jalapeños.
Southern-Style – Mix in a bit of sweet pickle relish for tangy-sweet flavor.
Bacon & Chive – Top with crumbled bacon and fresh chives for savory crunch.
Avocado Deviled Eggs – Replace some mayo with mashed avocado for a green, creamy twist.
