You might think that deviled eggs are too fancy, but they are actually really simple to make and customize. They are also really easy to prep ahead for Easter, summer picnics, holiday parties or a special weekend brunch / lunch.
HOW TO MAKE THE PERFECT DEVILED EGGS
How do you boil your eggs?
My favorite method to make easy-to-peel hard boiled eggs in the Instant Pot. To start, place the eggs on a rack, add 1 cup of water and pressure cook for 6 minutes.
The best part is, no having to stand over the stove and wait for the water to boil over.
Plus, the shells are easy to peel and the whites are firm but still tender with creamy yellow yolks.
If you don’t have an Instant Pot, I’ve also included a stovetop method in this post as well.
What else can I use in my filling to add flavor instead of mayo?
Most recipes for deviled eggs call for mayonnaise. If you are not a fan of mayo, try using Greek yogurt or sour cream instead.
Mustard adds the classic tang but you can also add flavor with hot sauce, lemon juice, vinegar or even pickle juice.
How do you fill the eggs?
You can either use a spoon to scoop the filling into the egg whites. Or transfer to a bag and pipe in the filling. Any plastic food bag should work – just scoop the filling in and snip off the corner. Elegant looking appetizers without the fuss.
Serving and Storing Deviled Eggs
Hard boiled and peeled eggs can be made 1 day in advance and stored in the refrigerator. You can also make the fillings up to 1 day ahead and store in the fridge. Just remember to store each filling in separate piping bags or in an airtight container with a layer of plastic wrap covering the filling under the lid. Spoon or pipe filling into egg white shells when ready to serve.
Do not freeze as the texture of the egg whites will become rubbery and watery.
How long can you keep deviled eggs at room temperature?
Once you add the filling, deviled eggs can be prepared up to two hours in advance if sitting at room temperature.
