    🔪 Instructions

    Check out how to make southern deviled eggs with these simple step-by-step instructions:

    Boil your eggs until they're hard boiled and then let them cool to safe handling temperatures.

    Peel the shells from the egg whites and rinse under water to remove any small shell pieces.

    Cut the eggs lengthwise down the middle.

    Remove the yolks and set them in a bowl to the side.

    Mash your egg yolks down until they're crumbly and fine.

    🍴 Recipe Tips

    If you want a less sweet and more dill flavor for your egg filling, use dill relish instead of sweet relish. For a slightly creamier texture add in a little more mayo until your desired consistency is reached.

    I like to use a piping bag with the tip cut off to fill my egg whites but spooning it in works well too. You could even get fancy and use a star tip to pipe the filling into the egg whites.

    If any of your boiled eggs don't turn out pretty enough for deviled eggs, don't forget you can always turn them into Creamy Egg Salad Sandwiches later!

    💭 FAQs

    How long is it safe to eat deviled eggs?

    Deviled eggs can be prepared and stored for 2 days. This means they can be made the day before an event and stored until the day after. For best results consume within 2 days.

    How do you hard boil eggs so they peel easily?

    Use older eggs that have been in the fridge for at least a week, older eggs work better at easily peeling. Next, try the 5-5-5 method. Place eggs in a pot of water and bring it to a boil. Boil for 5 minutes and then let them sit there for 5 minutes. Then, place in an ice bath for 5 minutes before peeling. I also like to peel my eggs under gently running water because it helps separate that sticky membrane from the eggwhite.

    Can I freeze deviled eggs?

    It's never recommended to freeze deviled eggs. While it could technically be done, the flavors, textures, and appearances are all different and offputting.
