How to make deviled eggs!

One of those classic holiday dishes, but as you turn into an adult hosting your first-holiday dinner… you ask yourself, “do I know how to make deviled eggs?” Hosting your first-holiday dinner or even a big family dinner is stressful, but this classic holiday side dish recipe is not as complicated as you would think.

Since I didn’t learn to cook till my 30s, the first couple of times, I didn’t cook Thanksgiving dinner, and when I did host it, my parents would come over and cook! When I hosted my first one without help, I was shocked that it wasn’t hard to do! (Don’t worry; I still called my mom a million times for phone support.)

I use either the platter or carrier to figure out how many eggs I should make! We are hosting even more family this year, and I am eying the fun Etsy Deviled Egg Platters. But don't worry; both Amazon and Walmart also have excellent options!

DEVILED EGG INGREDIENTS

Large Eggs

Dijon Mustard– Other mustards can be used, like Mustard or Spicy Mustard.

Mayonnaise– If you are not a mayo person, you can substitute with Miracle Whip or Greek Yogurt.

Dill Relish

Paprika– I also like to swap out paprika for Smoked Paprika to change up the flavor of the deviled eggs.

HOW TO BOIL EGGS

Set a large stock pot full of water on the stove and bring to a boil.

Once your water is on a rolling boil, slowly add your eggs to the pot, I use a gravy ladle to do this, so I slowly roll in the eggs.

Allow to boil for 2 minutes per egg; add minutes if you do a lot of eggs. This extra time allows the water to boil again after adding the cold eggs. For my 14 eggs, I did 35 minutes.

Now there are some varying opinions on how long to boil an egg and it can vary by how many eggs at a time you are cooking as well.

Remove from water with a ladle and place directly in an ice bath

Allow to cool; you can add more ice if they seem not to be cooling down.

Peel the eggs carefully; I sometimes rinse them with cold water if they seem to have egg peels sticking and set them to the side.

You can also make Crockpot Hard Boiled Eggs, Instant Pot Hard Boiled Eggs, or Air Fryer Hard Boiled Eggs.

HOW TO MAKE DEVILED EGGS

Take a paring knife and cut each egg in half the long way.

Push or spoon out the yellow egg filling into a mixing bowl.

Line the egg whites along your serving platter or your egg carrier.

Once you have sliced open all your eggs, take a fork to the egg yolks in the bowl.

Next, add the mayo and mustard, starting with smaller amounts; you can always add more if it doesn’t seem right.

If you want to make some without relish, fill those eggs first.

Use a fork to mix the mayo and mustard in well.

For the next step, you can use a cookie scoop or a piping bag/ziploc to fill in the egg filings on the egg whites.

Add relish to the mixture after you have made the ones without relish.

Sprinkle with paprika for appearance, and serve!

PRO TIP: Make these the night before and store them in the fridge to cut back on cooking the day of the dinner.

HOW TO STORE DEVILED EGGS

Store in the fridge in an air-tight container for up to four days.
