Deviled Eggs made with relish is a classic Southern recipe. These are so easy to make and can be eaten any time of the year. Make these for a cookout, Easter, Christmas, Thanksgiving or even meal prep!
Deviled Eggs are great to eat year-round. I add my Southern twist to this classic recipe with mayo!
I actually use mayo in a few of my recipes – including my mashed potatoes! Mayo adds creaminess to the dish without the mayo flavor! I promise, all you mayo-haters – you won’t even taste it!
One thing that always (used to) deter me from making deviled eggs was getting the yolk filling back into the white halves. Well, I’ve got a tip below to eliminate that!
How to Make Southern Deviled Eggs
This is just a really simple and basic recipe. I promise, you can do this in a pinch with a few ingredients you probably already have on hand.
What You’ll Need:
- 1 dozen eggs
- Duke’s Mayo
- Pickled Relish
- Mustard
- Salt and pepper
- Paprika or chives for garnish (optional!)
First, you’ll need your eggs hard-boiled. 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!
How long does it take to hard boil an egg?
From start to finish – 15 minutes! That’s including bringing the water to a boil.
Place your eggs in the bottom of a large pot in a single layer. Add water until they are just covered. Add a tablespoon of Kosher salt and bring the water to a boil for one minute. Then, reduce the heat to medium and continue cooking for another 7-8 minutes.
Set aside to cool and peel. That’s all for the eggs!
Tips for Peeling Hard Boiled Eggs the Easy Way:
- Older eggs are better for peeling than fresh ones!
- Peel eggs under running water
- Wait until eggs are cool to the touch before peeling.
Instructions for Making Deviled Eggs with Relish
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.
To the bowl of yolks, add your mayo, mustard, relish and salt and pepper. Mix well with a spoon or fork until all the yolk lumps are out.
Now here’s the tip for piping the yolks: Spoon the yolk mixture into a gallon-size 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.
Garnish with paprika or chives and serve chilled!
