This delicious and easy Deviled Eggs recipe is a total classic, made with simple ingredients including pickle relish, mayonnaise, mustard, salt, and pepper.
Every spring, I would happily eat them anytime, and they are one of my favorite appetizers too. Why do we love this recipe? Because grandma would specifically bring these for our family parties growing up, because she knew how much we loved them.
They are easy to make ahead of time, so they are ready to serve guests.
You can also take this classic recipe and adapt it to highlight different flavors. I will share some ideas below.
First, hard-boiled eggs:
My favorite way to boil eggs is to cover eggs in a pot of cold water and heat them till boiling. Then add 1 teaspoon of baking soda to the water (this is the best trick for helping eggs to peel really easily), cover them, and take them off the heat. Let them sit for 12 minutes in the hot water. That’s it!
Second, make the filling:
You need to peel and slice eggs. Once your eggs are cooked, remove the shells, and use a knife to slice them in half, lengthwise. Now, use a small spoon to gently remove the egg yolk from each egg, then add it to a mixing bowl. Add mayonnaise (You can use plain Greek yogurt, too), relish, mustard, salt, and pepper. Mix everything together until it is relatively smooth. Add more till it tastes just right!
Third, fill egg white:
Add a generous spoonful of the mixture back into the egg halves, then refrigerate. I like to sprinkle these homemade deviled eggs with paprika right before serving.
Here are some deviled egg variation ideas:
• Avocado: add 1 large avocado and mash with the mixture.
• Bacon: add cooked and diced.
• Chives: finely dice them and add them to the mixture.
• Herbs: add fresh or dried dill or basil to the mixture.
• Spicy: season with cayenne, cajun spices, or hot sauce.
