Classic Deviled Eggs

Deviled Eggs are perhaps one of my favorite, go-to dishes for any sort of party, get-together, or barbeque. They’re simple and easy to prep and that yolk filling- with the mayo, mustard, and vinegar- adds a nice bit of zest and bite that works well with fresh eggs. Whenever I make deviled eggs, I always have a clean plate by the end of the party!

Ingredients for BEST Deviled Eggs

How to make Deviled Eggs

Making this classic stuffed egg dish is incredibly easy! For this recipe, here’s all you’ll have to do…
  1. Hard boil your eggs before slicing in half.
  2. Spoon out the yolks into a small bowl before adding your mayo, mustard, and vinegar and mixing.
  3. Fill your eggs back up with the deviled egg filling and then add paprika for garnish.

Boiled eggs cut in half

After hard-boiling your eggs, you’ll want to slice them in half- lengthwise is preferred here! Once sliced in half, grab a spoon and carefully extract that cooked yolk from each egg half and add to a small bowl.

Egg yolks in a bowl

To these egg yolks, we’re going to add our mayo, mustard, and vinegar. Also add any salt and pepper here to taste- maybe even a touch of hot sauce to spice things up a bit? Whatever you add, use a fork to mash and mix this deviled egg filling together.

With the filling mixed up, all that’s left is to add it back to our eggs. You can do this simply with a spoon and a careful hand or, for a better presentation, transfer the filling to a piping bag and pipe it into the eggs. A light dusting of paprika for garnish looks lovely here! However you garnish, either serve immediately or seal in an airtight container in the fridge- here, it will keep for 2 days. Hope you enjoy!

How to make perfect hard boiled eggs

Good deviled eggs are made from good hard boiled eggs. There are many ways to hard boil an egg- some work better than others! Here are a few of our go-to methods:
  • If you have an Instant Pot, you can make Perfect Instant Pot Hard Boiled Eggs. This is our favorite method, as it’s very hands-off and incredibly consistent.
  • Of course, you can also properly hard boil your eggs. Add about 3 inches of water to a pot or dutch oven and add about a teaspoon of baking soda to help with peeling the eggs later. Bring the water to a boil, carefully add your eggs, and let cook for upwards of 9-10 minutes.
  • You can also make steamed hard boiled eggs. Bring about 1/2 inch of water to a boil in a pot or dutch oven before carefully placing your eggs in the pot. Turn the heat down just a touch, cover with a lid, and let steam for upwards of 8-9 minutes.
