Deviled Eggs: 4 Great Recipes for the Win

Deviled Eggs: 4 Great Recipes for the Win

Did you know we’ve been eating deviled eggs since the early Roman Empire? Every western culture has its own take on the fillings. From sour cream and caviar to soaked bread and mustard, you’ll find the “stuffed” egg is one of the most experimented-on dish in history. In the U.S. today, the deviled egg is traditionally made using mayonnaise, mustard, and paprika. The “deviled” part refers to the addition of some hot ingredient, such as mustard or pepper.

For many, the time around Easter weekend means having lots of hardboiled eggs on hand. Rather than discarding the eggs after the Easter egg hunt, why not try deviling them with some new and unique fillings? Of course, only use hardboiled eggs that have not been left out too long. We’ve gathered some of our own favorite deviled egg recipes to share with you. Enjoy!

Classic Deviled Eggsclassic deviled eggs

For the no-frills, easy-to-make version of deviled eggs, nothing beats the traditional recipe.

Ingredients

6 eggs
2 tablespoons mayonnaise
1 teaspoon yellow mustard
Salt and pepper to taste
Paprika as topping

Directions

Hard boil eggs: Gently place 6 eggs on the bottom of a saucepan in a single layer. Fill saucepan with cold water so that the eggs are just covered over fully by water. Heat water to just before a rolling boil, cover, remove from heat, and let sit for 10 minutes. Fill bowl with ice water and set eggs into cold water for 5 more minutes.

When eggs have cooled to touch, peel, rinse, and dry gently with paper towels. Slice eggs lengthwise and scoop yolks into separate bowl, then place sliced whites in refrigerator to chill.

Crumble the yolks and add the mayonnaise, mustard, salt, and pepper. Mix until blended smooth. Using a scoop spoon, add equal amounts of yolk mixture into the egg whites. Sprinkle with paprika and return to refrigerator until ready to serve. Makes 12 deviled eggs.
