The BEST Deviled Eggs

This is the time of year when I make lots of Deviled eggs and Egg Salad sandwiches in an effort to use all our dyed eggs.  My boys LOVE to color eggs and so we always have at least 3 dozen on hand after Easter.

On Sunday I had my son whip up a batch of (what we consider) the best deviled eggs after church and I realized I had never posted our favorite recipe. We love these simple and flavorful deviled eggs at our house.  So many recipes are loaded with mayo, but not this one!  Best of all it is super quick and easy—even your kids can handle this recipe!

Tips for success:

  • Freshness Matters: Start with fresh eggs for easier peeling.
  • The Ice Bath Trick: The ice bath not only cools the eggs quickly but also helps in easy peeling.
  • Season to Taste: Adjust the seasonings in the filling to suit your preferences.
  • Presentation: Use a piping bag or a plastic bag with the corner snipped off for a neat, professional look.
  • Get Creative: Feel free to experiment with additional ingredients like minced pickles, hot sauce, or crispy bacon bits for added flavor and texture.

Deviled eggs are a timeless classic that never fails to impress at gatherings, potlucks, or as a delightful snack. With the right ingredients and techniques, you can take this humble dish to new heights. T

I think this method for cooking the perfect hard boiled eggs works best!  Be sure to not overcook them so the yolks aren’t too dried out.  If they are, you could add a little extra mayonnaise.

Tribute to my sweet Mom

I developed my love of cooking at an early age “helping” my Mom bake cookies, make dinner, and knead bread. She had quite the well of patience! She is the one that taught me about measurements, leavening agents, egg-washes, the basic white sauce, and numerous other mysteries of the kitchen!  I cherish the memories I have of learning to cook at her side. Thank you Mom! You instilled in me a respect for work as well as a joy in creating delicious things. I love you! xoxo
