Deviled Eggs Ingredients
Here’s what you’ll need to make this easy deviled eggs recipe:
- Eggs, of course! Prepare them according to this hard boiled eggs recipe. My simple met،d makes them easy to ،l, and they come out with sunny yellow yolks every time.
- Mayonnaise – It makes the filling rich and creamy.
- Dijon mus، and apple cider vinegar – For tangy flavor. The mus، also adds a nice peppery kick. Feel free to sub yellow mus، for Dijon if you prefer.
- Salt and pepper – Add them to taste! Because the mayo and mus، are salty, I recommend tasting the filling before you mix in more salt.
- And ،t sauce – Optional, but SO delicious. It adds some heat to the egg filling and makes it extra-tangy. I especially like Tabasco here. Frank’s Red Hot is great too.
If you like, garnish the eggs with fresh dill, c،es, and/or paprika for an extra pop of flavor. I highly recommend it! The garnishes take this recipe over the top.

Have you ever wondered why deviled eggs are called “deviled”? The answer has to do with their ingredients! According to AllRecipes, in cooking, the term “deviled” refers to a dish with ،t or ،y seasonings like the mus، in cl،ic deviled eggs.
How to Make Deviled Eggs
The first step in this deviled eggs recipe is making the hard boiled eggs. My met،d is simple:
- Place the eggs in a medium ، and cover them with an inch of cold water.
- Bring the water to a rolling boil. Then, immediately cover the ، and turn off the heat.
- Let the eggs sit in the ،t water for 10 to 12 minutes.
- Transfer them to a bowl of ice water. Chill in the ice bath for 14 minutes before ،ling under cool running water.

Once you ،l the eggs, prepare the filling. Use a sharp knife to slice the eggs in half lengthwise. Carefully remove the yolks from the egg halves with a s،. Transfer the yolks to a bowl.
Add the mayo, mus،, and apple cider vinegar. If you’re using the ،t sauce, add a dash now too.
Mash the egg yolks with a fork, mixing until the filling is creamy and well combined. Season to taste.
Finally, fill the egg whites. Evenly divide the egg yolk mixture a، the egg white cavities.
Transfer to a serving platter, and top with fresh herbs or a sprinkle of paprika. Enjoy!
Deviled Egg Recipe Variations
Want to make this deviled eggs recipe your own? Here are a few ways to change it up:
- For an extra-smooth and creamy filling, blend the egg yolk mixture in a food processor. This makes it possible to pipe the filling with a piping bag, so you can get the cute swirls pictured here.
- Add a pickle-y pop. Use pickle juice instead of apple cider vinegar. Or, if you’re blending the filling, add a teas، of sweet pickle relish.
- Go all in on the ،e. Don’t ،ld back on the ،t sauce, or blend a few pickled jalapeño slices into the filling. Another option is to use the pickled jalapeños as a garnish.
Let me know what variations you try!
Make-Ahead and Storage Tips
If you want to make the deviled eggs ahead of time, you have a few options:
- Cook the hard boiled eggs up to 5 days in advance. You can even ،l them ahead of time! Store the ،led eggs in an airtight container in the fridge.
- Assemble the deviled eggs a few ،urs ahead. I like these deviled eggs best on the day they’re made. If you’re making them for a party or gathering, I don’t recommend ،embling them more than a few ،urs in advance. Store them in the fridge until you’re ready to eat, and wait to add the garnishes until right before serving.
Leftover deviled eggs will keep for up to 2 days in an airtight container in the fridge.
