Notes:

From the kitchen
  • For the creamiest filling, mash the yolks completely before mixing in the mayonnaise and mustard. 
  • Using a piping bag or a zip-top bag with the corner cut off makes the eggs look more polished.
  • If the filling feels too thick, add a small spoon of mayonnaise or a few drops of lemon juice.
 
Make it yours
  • Classic American: add a little sweet pickle relish.
  • Spicy: mix in a dash of hot sauce or cayenne pepper.
  • Herb version: add chopped dill, chives, or parsley.
  • Creamier: mix a teaspoon of sour cream or Greek yogurt into the filling.
 
At the table
  • Serve deviled eggs chilled as an appetizer or snack.
  • They pair well with salads, picnic spreads, and brunch tables.
  • They are a classic for holidays and potluck gatherings.
