This Deviled Eggs recipe is a classic side dish or appetizer for Easter, Christmas, or any occasion. This the best recipe made with simple ingredients but can be spiced up with many variations. Always a crowd favorite and a holiday staple.
DEVILED EGG RECIPE
When it comes to deviled eggs I like mine pretty classic. I’ve tried them all the ways, with Dijon mustard, apple cider vinegar, bacon, avocado, and hot sauce. But I always come back to this version.
HOW TO MAKE DEVILED EGGS
- Hard boil eggs and let cool. Crack egg shells and peel eggs.
- Cut each egg in half lengthwise. Remove the egg yolks and put them in a medium bowl. Mash the yolks with a fork. Add the mayonnaise, mustard, and vinegar. Add salt and pepper to taste.
- Spoon the creamy mixture into the egg white halves or use a piping bag if you want it fancy. Top with a little sprinkle of paprika. Chill until serving.
HOW TO BOIL EGGS FOR DEVILED EGGS
- Place eggs in a pot in a single layer and covering them with cold water about an inch above the eggs.
- Turn the heat up to medium high and once water starts to bubble add some salt to the pot.
- Bring water to a rolling boil. If your heat is too high, you will get some violent boiling water and end up with egg casualties.
- Once water comes to a rolling boil, place the lid on and turn off the heat.
- Let eggs sit for 12-13 minutes making sure to not open the lid or all of the heat will escape. Make sure not to start your timer until right when you turn off the heat.
- When the time is up remove eggs from pot with a slotted spoon and rinse in cold water or in a bowl of ice water to stop the eggs from continuing to cook.
TIP: Old eggs tend to peel easier than fresh eggs.
Here are more tips and tricks on how to hard boil eggs.
WAYS TO PIPE EGG FILLING
- Use a piping bag or frosting bag with a fancy tip.
- Fill a Ziploc bag with creamy filling. Cut of the corner of a Ziploc bag and pipe away.
HOW FAR AHEAD CAN I MAKE DEVILED EGGS
You can make them up to 2 days in advanced. Keep the filling and egg whites separate until the day of.
WHY VINEGAR?
The filling of the eggs is dense and rich. Adding a little bit of vinegar adds a bit of acidity to brighten up the dish. This is the secret ingredient.
VARIATIONS:
- Bacon – nice crispy bacon on top adds a salty bite.
- Dijon mustard – classic yellow mustard is great but Dijon mustard is a little more subtle if desired.
- Pickle juice – blend in some pickle juice into the filling.
- Avocado – add diced avocado on top.
- Sriracha – add a drizzle on top for a kick.
- Tabasco sauce – spice it up by adding it to the filling or on top.
- Blue cheese crumbles – Add a sprinkle on top.

The best way to boil eggs.
Put in pan, cover with about an inch or so with water, add salt. Bring to boil and boil for 5 minutes. Cover remove from heat and let sit another 5. Run cold h2o give ice bath to cool and in about another 5 or so peel. Unless eggs are older shells just come right off, no egg chunks on shells.😃 -

I’ve never heard of adding salt to the water while the eggs are cooking. Is that for seasoning or for a different reason, like making them easier to peel?

It’s supposed to help the shells from cracking.
