How to Make Deviled Eggs

One of the best parts of Deviled Eggs is how easy they are to make! These are the basic steps, but consult the full recipe when you’re ready to start.

1. Hard Boil the Eggs

Place eggs in a large saucepan and cover the eggs with cold water. Bring the pot to a boil. Remove from the heat, cover, and let sit for 15 minutes. Immediately drain and run cold water over eggs to stop the cooking process.

2. Prepare the Filling

Peel the eggs and halve them lengthwise. Remove the yolks, setting egg whites aside. Place the yolks in a small bowl and mash with a fork. Add all the remaining ingredients to the yolks except the paprika. Mix together until fluffy.

3. Fill the Egg Whites

Spoon or pipe yolk mixture into egg white halves. Sprinkle them with paprika.

How to Store (and Reheat) Deviled Eggs

Deviled Eggs should be served cold, so no need to reheat them. However, proper storage is important!

Refrigerator

The best way to store them is in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.

If you want to make these ahead and store them on a serving platter, cover and store in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours. Sprinkle with paprika or chopped parsley just before serving.

Freezer

We do not recommend storing Deviled Eggs in the freezer, because it would compromise the texture.
