Deviled Eggs
I always seem to be the one that is asked to make deviled eggs for any get together and I really don’t mind. Don’t we all hate peeling the eggs? Keep in mind when you make these, one egg gives you two deviled eggs. So if you want a dozen deviled eggs, only hard boil 6 eggs. What I do is place my eggs in a large pan. I fill the pan with hot tap water making sure the eggs are covered by 2″ of water. Bring the water to a boil over medium heat. As soon as the water boils, set the timer to 13 minutes. Once the 13 minutes is up, remove the pan from the heat and pour as much water out of the pan as you can without the eggs falling out. Put the pan under cold running water for about 3 minutes. Drain, pat the eggs dry and put them in the refrigerator to get them cold. Once cold I peel the eggs and make my Deviled Eggs.
Lay peeled eggs on a paper towel
and pat dry making sure all of the
shell pieces are off of the egg,
With a sharp knife, slice the eggs
horizontally making sure you are cutting in
the middle so they are all the same size.
Carefully take the yolk out of the eggs
and place them in a medium bowl.
Place the egg white halves on a plate.
With a mixer, gently smash the yolks
using the beater without turning it on.
Add a pinch of salt and Miracle Whip to
your taste. I start with about 1/2 cup of
Miracle Whip and keep adding more until
it tastes good to me. Turn on the mixer and
mix until there are no lumps and the yolk
mixture is creamy. If you can’t get it this
way, add more Miracle Whip and remix.
Here are three different
ways to fill the egg white.
1. Put the yolk mixture into a Ziploc bag, cut
a small tip off one corner and gently squeeze
the yolk mixture into each egg white half.
2. Use a spoon and your finger to fill.
3. I like to use a pastry bag with a large star
tip in it for a fancy looking deviled egg.
Fill all of the egg white halves being careful
not to over fill them or you may run out
before you get to the last egg white.
If you finish with extra yolk mixture left over,
just top off the eggs you already did ….. or eat it!
With your hand about 12″ above the
filled eggs, lightly sprinkle paprika on
top of the eggs. Try not to get gobs
of paprika on the eggs, just a nice light
sprinkle of red. Keep refrigerated
until ready to serve.

Yum! Have you ever tried using avocado or pesto as your binder instead of mayo? I only ask because I am not a mayo fan and do love the other flavors, but the green hue can be off putting for some. They are tasty though! (and a little healthier if you are into that sort of thing). 🙂
What a great combination! I have never heard of or ever seen them made that way. Thank you what a great idea!!!
Thanks for this post. You did a great job. You make it look easy to make.🙂🙂
Thank you! Hope you can try it sometime soon!
Maybe I will.
Lovely. <3
Thank you so much!
I love deviled eggs, and yours look delicious. 🙂
Thank you Judy!
Wonderful recipe with eggs ☺
Thank you one of our favorites!
Love your recipe. Like you, I’m also the one bringing the Deviled Eggs. Have you ever used a food processor for the yolks? It makes them very smooth, perfect for piping. Capers and domestic caviar make for pretty toppings, too. As do a few chives (cut into about 1/2 long pieces for a dramatic presentation).
No I haven’t tried a food processor but my aunt messaged me today saying she did and how wonderful it is! I have gotten some really great recipe ideas as well as yours by posting my recipe. I find it so interesting seeing all the different ways people make deviled eggs! Chives would be a great presentation. I thought about parsley too. Thank you for sharing your way too!
Anything to add texture and color will work. You can also dip the whites in food coloring with a little water and vinegar – like you would use to color eggs – green and red for Christmas, pastel colors for Easter and so forth. I love the exchange of ideas through blogging – I’ve learned so much.
I actually colored my egg whites for Easter this year. After I boiled my egg, sliced it in half and removed the yolk I put the white half of the egg in the food color. I have tried it by coloring the egg whole, before slicing, but they were much prettier cutting and coloring the halves. Then I filled the colored egg white with the yolk. I have a picture in my recipes category under eggs. They were a huge hit! And yes exchanging ideas is what it’s all about! Thank you so much!!
This is a dish I’ve always wanted to make 🙂 Bookmarked!
Great! Once you do check out the eggs section in my categories because I colored the white of the egg at Easter and made deviled eggs like that. Really pretty looking!
Love devilled eggs! I like to add finely chopped celery and onion to mine.
My husband would love that too!
Delicious devilled eggs!
Thanks!
The fam and I got bored with our hard boiled eggs. You just reminded me to slap on some mayo! Thanks!
You’re welcome! Deviled egg sandwiched too!
Thanks so much!
They look very pretty. I often put a bowl of halved, slightly hard boiled eggs, with mayo softly folded through out for a barbecue. They go like hot cakes, but your way it looks prettier with the same ingredients.
Thank you Chris. Happy Easter!
These are a huge weakness for me. Whenever I make them, I always ensure a few are not “quite right” and must be eaten right away. To an outsider, this does not make sense, but a person who loves devilled eggs will understand… 🙂
Absolutely! Besides every cook needs to taste test their food right?
Reblogged this on Crackling Pork Rinds.
Thank you!
I usually add different spices to my deviled eggs, but I like the idea of adding paprika very much.
It looks really pretty with the yellow and white then red paprika. I topped it off with a small piece of green parsley, So pretty and tasty! Thank you Linda!
Yummy!! 💕
Thank you they are always on the table at every holiday.
Yet another one I’m capable of doing! My husband usually makes these. One time he was gone, so I did it. He liked mine better, and we realized I added a little mustard to mine, thinking that’s what you’re supposed to do. I guess it’s not, but it was a nice addition. *I* taught him the part about paprika on top, however, thankyouverymuch. 😉
Oh yes a lot of people put mustard in them. Look out now he will have you make them all the time! 🤣😂🤣😂
Oooh. Dang. Good point!
This is my favorite! Your instructions are very clear and easy to follow. Well done!
Thank you so much!
