Two things that always deter me from making deviled eggs: Peeling the eggs and Piping the filling back into the whites. You can find this information and more below!

About

  • Deviled eggs have been around for centuries – literally – but for some reason, I’ve always thought of them as a southern recipe. Maybe it’s because I add mayonnaise to my filling, which makes them light and fluffy.
  • The tang from the mustard and relish goes really well with the creamy, mild yolks. These are also full of protein and not too guilt-full for snacking.
  • While these can be made at any time of the year, they are always a staple during Easter and Christmas, and during the summertime.

Ingredients

  • pickled, dill relish
  • yellow mustard
  • optional paprika or chives for garnish
ingredients for deviled eggs

Instructions

#1 Hard boil the eggs.

If you are in a time crunch, do these in the Instant Pot. My friend over at Mom’s Dinner has a great recipe for Instant Pot Hard Boiled Eggs – and this method makes them so easy to peel!

#2 Peel and prepare the eggs.

After your eggs are peeled, halve the eggs length-wise and scoop the yolks into a separate bowl. Place your white halves on a deviled egg platter or tray.

#3 Make the yolk filling.

Mash the yolks with the back of a fork. Then, add mayo, mustard, and relish. Mix well until all the yolk lumps are out.

#4 Pipe the Filling.

Now here’s the tip for piping the yolks: Spoon the yolk mixture into a zip-lock storage bag. Push the mixture toward one corner at the bottom of the bag and seal closed.

With scissors, snip about 1/4 inch off the bottom corner. Then, squeeze the bag to pipe the yolk mixture into the egg white halves.

What goes well with deviled eggs?

Just about anything! I would serve this along with pulled pork, rotisserie chicken, or as another side!
