You must go check out her beautiful blog. She has wonderful recipes and photos. You will be blessed. I love deviled eggs and never thought of making just the filling as a spread. The recipe originated from Katie Lee in a Food & Wine 2009magazine. I tweaked it a bit to meet our family’s need.

    What is the vinegar for?

Where does the vinegar come in??
Alicia Boland 27/08/2015 at 7:04 am - Reply
The vinegar is added to the water that you boil the eggs in. It makes it easier to peel the eggs when cool.

FAQs

Is it better to make deviled eggs day before or day of? ›

Assemble deviled eggs no more than a day in advance.

Pipe the filling to the egg whites and store them in the fridge covered in a container up to 12 hours ahead or overnight. If you make them more than one day in advance, the filling won't be its best.

What is deviled egg filling made of? ›

Filling: To the bowl with the egg yolks add mayonnaise, pickle relish, and mustard. Mash with a fork until smooth. Add salt and pepper, to taste. Add more mayo, mustard, or seasonings to taste, if needed.

How to get smooth deviled egg filling? ›

The best part of deviled eggs is the creamy filling. And it's at its best when it's super smooth and free of lumps of whole egg yolk. Follow this tip: For a smooth, lump-free filling, use a fork or a potato masher to thoroughly break up the egg yolks before adding the other filling ingredients to the bowl.

Is there a substitute for mayonnaise in deviled eggs? ›

Richer than Greek yogurt, but still nice and thick, sour cream is another good mayonnaise alternative in deviled egg filling. As with Greek yogurt, opt for full-fat sour cream and add mustard gradually to avoid making the filling too tangy.

Discover More Details ›

How many minutes do you boil eggs for deviled eggs? ›

Hard boiled eggs should be cooked for about 10-12 minutes. This timing avoids a powdery, dry yolk that comes from overcooking while keeping it solid enough for applications like devilled eggs or egg salad.

Is it better to make deviled eggs when they are warm or cold? ›

Be sure to transfer them to an ice bath right away to stop the cooking process and cool them down quickly, which makes the eggs easier to peel and ensures that the yolk isn't too warm when mixed with the mayonnaise and mustard (which risks creating a runny filling).

Other deviled egg fixes

About ½ cup of mayo for every dozen eggs is an ideal ratio, but if the filling does become too liquid, have a few extra hard-boiled eggs on hand so you can use those yolks to counterbalance the texture. You can also use avocado, hummus, or yogurt in lieu of mayonnaise to get that creamy feel.

Discover More ›

What happens if you put too much mayo in deviled eggs? ›

If you add too much mayo, it may overpower the filling and make it runny. For a dozen eggs, ½ cup mayonnaise will make a smooth, creamy filling that can sit up high when spooned into the egg. One way to ensure you get a good yolk-to-mayo ratio is to cook a few extra eggs.

Do deviled eggs taste good the next day? ›

As long as you store them in the fridge, you can eat refrigerated deviled eggs (or any cooked egg dish) within four days, according to the USDA, but you should aim to eat them within two days for optimal freshness. Once you take them out of the fridge, you should serve them within two hours.

Can I boil and peel eggs the day before? ›

It depends on whether they're peeled or unpeeled. With their shells on, hard-boiled eggs will stay good in the fridge for up to a week. Once you peel them, though, their shelf-life decreases to about three days (at the most).

Is it better to use old or new eggs for deviled eggs? ›

Fresh eggs, with their smaller air sacs, are more likely to have a smooth ovoid shape when peeled, which looks more appealing in applications as deviled eggs. OFF-CENTER YOLK: Fresher eggs are more likely (though not guaranteed) to have centered yolks, again leading to more attractive deviled eggs.
