INGREDIENTS NEEDED TO MAKE DEVILED EGGS

  • Dijon mustard
  • Yellow mustard

HOW TO MAKE CLASSIC DEVILED EGGS

  1. Hard boil your eggs (see in notes how to hard boil an egg). Gently peel the eggs under cold water and make sure to remove any egg shells. Pat dry with a paper towel.

HOW TO HARD BOIL EGGS 

My favorite (and easiest) way to hard boil eggs is so simple.

  • Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Make sure there is enough water to cover at least 1 inch above the eggs.
  • With a large or wooden spoon, carefully place the eggs in the boiling water. Reduce heat to medium-low and remove lid.
  • Set a timer for 16 minutes and let the eggs cook.
  • Once the eggs are done, immediately place them under cold water for about 2-3 minutes until the eggs are cooled.

TIPS FOR MAKING CLASSIC DEVILED EGGS

  • If you want to make these with a healthy twist, swap out the mayonnaise for plain nonfat Greek yogurt.
  • For extra creamy deviled eggs, add about 2-3 teaspoons of extra mayo or Greek yogurt
  • If you want to make these deviled eggs extra fancy for a holiday or party, add the yolk filling to a pipping bag and customize by using your favorite pipping tip
  • Use leftovers eggs in an egg salad sandwich! Chop up the leftover eggs and add them to sliced bread, its delicious!

  4. Devilled eggs are seriously my kryptonite. I could eat the whole works as a meal. This is the perfect classic recipe. I use the same method to boil eggs – they peel perfect every time.
