Classic Deviled Eggs

Classic Deviled Eggs are a must make for all your parties, barbecues, and holidays! Made with just a few simple ingredients and they are so delicious.

We got chickens back in March of 2022 and I have been a crazy chicken lady ever since. We have 9 big hens right now and I accidentally got 4 chicks a few weeks ago when Tractor Supply happened to have 4 breeds that were on my list.

(Also, I’m convinced I taught our chicken Steve [who is a lady] tricks and you can see proof on my Instagram.)

The 9 big hens are currently laying eggs and there’s only 5 of us in the house. Which means we are constantly overflowing with eggs. We give them away, we feed them to the dogs, we feed them back to the chickens, but we still always have a ton of eggs.

So I make a lot of deviled eggs. Because no one in my house turns down a deviled egg.

(That’s Goblin, Ramona, Pretzel, Peanut Butter, and Skittle.)

These are the classic deviled eggs we all know and love. Just a creamy filling with a slight pickle-y flavor and sprinkled with paprika.

I have other variations that I make (like Caesar salad inspired or pimento cheese) but I always come back to this one because it’s so delicious AND I always have all the ingredients on hand.

Ingredients

• Hard boiled eggs – use your preferred method. I’m an Instant Pot girlie – 5 minutes on high, 4 minutes natural release and then quick release, 5 minutes in a bowl of ice water, peel.
• Mayo
• Yellow mustard
• Dill pickle relish – you can use sweet relish if you prefer that flavor.
• Salt and pepper
• Paprika – this mostly adds a pop of color to the finished eggs, not much flavor.

How To Make Classic Deviled Eggs

• Separate. Cut hard boiled eggs in half and remove yolks.
• Make filling. Mash yolks with mayo, relish, yellow mustard, salt, and pepper.
• Fill. Put heaping spoonfuls of the filling into the egg whites.
• Garnish. Sprinkle with paprika before serving.

How Long Are They Good For?

Deviled eggs are good for about 3 days. Make sure to store them in the refrigerator in an airtight container.

I have this container made specifically for deviled eggs – it holds 24 (which is an after school snack for my 3 teenage boys) or you can take it apart to just store 12.
