    Our Best-Ever Recipes for Deviled Eggs (2024)

    FAQs

    What powerful ingredient brings out the best in deviled eggs? ›

    As opposed to more simple styles of making eggs – such as poached, fried, or boiled eggs – when they are deviled, they offer more room for playing with ingredients. One powerful ingredient that brings out the best in deviled eggs is horseradish and another is softened butter.

    Is Miracle Whip or mayonnaise better for deviled eggs? ›

    The bottom line is that you can use either Miracle Whip or mayo for deviled eggs. Both will do the same thing – make the yolk filling creamy.

    Why put white vinegar in deviled eggs? ›

    A light-colored vinegar, like the white-wine vinegar we use in these creamy deviled eggs, brings a touch of acidity to the filling and balances the richness of the yolks and the mayonnaise.

    What is deviled egg filling made of? ›

    Deviled eggs are a favorite for any holiday meal, potluck, or party. If you're looking for a classic, no-frills deviled eggs recipe this is it. The filling for Southern-style deviled eggs is nothing more than egg yolks, mayonnaise (Duke's if you can find it), mustard, and sweet pickle relish.

    Why do people put paprika on deviled eggs? ›

    The paprika will determine the depth of flavor of each bite. You can garnish with any kind (hot or sweet Hungarian, or hot or sweet smoked), but the better the quality, the more complex the flavor.

    What seasoning makes eggs taste better? ›

    Salt and Pepper

    Specifically, salt suppresses bitter tastes to help bring out the eggs' natural taste, while pepper adds a pop of outside spice. You can switch up your eggs' flavor by using different types of pepper. While black and white pepper come from the same plant, they have slightly different tastes.

    Is it better to make deviled eggs day before or day of? ›

    Prep deviled eggs too far in advance, and you'll have dried out filling and stinky boiled egg whites. For the best results, prep your deviled eggs up to two days in advance and keep the egg whites and filling separate until you're ready to serve. This prepping method also applies if you're not even leaving the house.

    What happens if you put too much mayo in deviled eggs? ›

    Going overboard with the mayo.

    But when you're heavy-handed with this ingredient, not only will it overpower the taste of the filling, but it can also make for a loose, runny filling that's tough to pipe into the egg white.

    How long should you boil eggs? ›

    Gently lower in fridge-cold eggs. Lower the heat slightly – so the eggs don't crack due to being bashed around but water is still at a gentle boil. Start the timer – 6 minutes for runny yolks, 8 minutes for soft boiled, 10 minutes for classic hard boiled, 15 minutes for unpleasant rubbery whites and powdery dry yolks.

    How do you get lumps out of deviled egg filling? ›

    For the smoothest filling, try grating the yolks on the small holes of a box grater. You can also press them through a fine-mesh sieve. If you don't mind a few lumps, mashing the yolks thoroughly with a fork works too.

    What to use instead of mustard in deviled eggs? ›

    This recipe for Deviled Eggs Without Mustard tastes just like classic deviled eggs but with apple cider vinegar in place of dijon mustard. They're a creamy, delicious appetizer everyone should try!

    How to fix too much mustard in deviled eggs? ›

    Add sweetness to your dish. Honey or maple syrup are great choices for counterbalancing mustard, but even just a spoonful of sugar will help.

    What are deviled eggs called in the South? ›

    At church functions in parts of the Southern and Midwestern United States, the terms "stuffed eggs", "salad eggs", and "dressed eggs" occur instead, to avoid reference to the word "devil". For this reason, the term "angel eggs" is also occasionally used.

    What is a true deviled egg? ›

    Deviled eggs are hard-boiled eggs that have been peeled, cut in half, then stuffed with a paste made from the yolk and other ingredients. Basic deviled egg filling is made with egg yolks, mayonnaise, relish, mustard, salt, and pepper. The eggs are often seasoned with spices like paprika or cayenne pepper.

    How many deviled eggs per person? ›

    How many deviled eggs do you need per person? Plan 2 to 3 deviled eggs per person for your get-together. A dozen eggs will make 24 deviled eggs, and that will be enough for 8 to 12 people. If you have leftovers you can store them in the fridge for 24 hours and snack on them the next day.

    What can I add to eggs to make them better? ›

    11 things to add to eggs
    1. A teaspoon of chopped, fresh stronger herbs like oregano, tarragon, or thyme.
    2. 1 tablespoon chopped fresh milder herbs like parsley, chives, chervil, basil, or mint.
    3. Tabasco, Worcestershire, or other prepared sauce, to taste.
    4. A quarter cup grated or crumbled cheddar, goat, or other melting cheese.

    How do you enhance a hard boiled egg? ›

    It's hard to go wrong with cream cheese and fresh herbs, which happen to pair perfectly with hardboiled eggs! If you don't have fresh herbs, you can try this with dried ones instead.

    What's the secret to boiled eggs? ›

    As soon as the water begins to boil, turn off the heat and cover the pot. Leave the eggs in the hot water for anywhere from 10-12 minutes, depending on how you like your eggs. The 10-minute eggs will have vibrant, creamy yolks, while the 12-minute yolks will be paler and opaque, with a chalkier texture.

    What is the secret to peeling deviled eggs? ›

    The ice bath also helps the shells separate, making them much easier to peel. To peel, gently tap the egg at the big end first, then the small end, then all around. I prefer not to roll them because it's easy to break the white. Just gently tap all around to crack the shells everywhere and they will peel with ease.
