Best Classic Deviled Eggs Recipe

This is the BEST Classic Deviled Eggs Recipe! It’s a quick and easy appetizer or healthy snack that’s filled with simple ingredients and ready in a flash.

Since we have backyard chickens we are always looking for ways to use up our abundance of chicken eggs. That’s where these deviled eggs come in.

Whenever I make a batch of these eggs they always disappear so fast. It’s a good thing this recipe takes just a few minutes to make cause my kids demolish them in no time.

How to Hard Boil Eggs:

• To make deviled eggs you’ll need to first hard boil your eggs. I have a great tutorial on how to do this on the stove top with excellent results.
• Lately I’ve been making my hard boiled eggs in the Instant Pot and they’re SO EASY!
  • Place 1 cup of water in your pressure cooker and then place a rack over the water.
  • Lay your eggs on the rack and set the pressure cooker to Manual for 5 minutes with the valve closed.
  • Let the pressure naturally release for 5 minutes, then quick release the rest of the way.
  • Place the eggs directly in an ice bath for 5 minutes and you’re ready to peel!

How to Make Classic Deviled Eggs:

• Place the yolks into a bowl and add the other filling ingredients.
• Mash the filling with a fork until you reach your desired consistency.
• Scoop the filling into the halved egg whites and sprinkle the tops with smoked paprika and diced green onions.

Deviled Eggs Recipe Variations:

What I love most about deviled eggs is that you can make simple little changes to the recipe to make it your own!

• Swap out the sour cream for plain greek yogurt.
• Instead of pickle relish you could chop up your favorite variation of pickle!
• Use a granulated spicy mustard for a little more kick.
• Add a little bit of garlic powder for a more savory flavor.
• A classic deviled egg uses regular paprika for garnish, but I love the smoky flavor of smoked paprika… try both to see which you prefer!

How To Store Deviled Eggs:

• If you want to make Deviled Eggs ahead of time, the key is to keep the egg whites and filling separate until you’re just a few hours away from serving.
• Wrap the egg whites in plastic wrap and store in the fridge. Keep the filling in a covered dish in the fridge as well. Assemble just before serving.
• Deviled Eggs should be consumed within 3 to 4 days of being cooked.

• Try this Guacamole Deviled Egg for a light twist on the classic.
