Hard-boiled eggs – when it comes to peeling eggs, the secret is to use 5 day old or older eggs. Mayonnaise – I love using a good organic mayonnaise. You can also make your own mayo. To make your own mayo follow my recipe here. Salt and pepper – Use as much or as little as you want to perfectly season the eggs to your liking. Mustard – You can use Dijon mustard or any regular yellow prepared mustard will work. Hot sauce – I’d say this is optional, however these are “deviled eggs” so trust me you’ll want to add some, and a little goes a long way. Paprika – I love using smoked paprika for garnish, but sweet paprika will work just as well. Chives – this is optional but I think it makes the eggs look really pretty.
This classic recipe is beyond easy! Once you’ve got some hard boiled eggs cooked and peeled, the rest of the recipe quires nothing but a bowl, fork, and about 10 minutes of your time! Once your hard boiled eggs have been peeled, slice them all in half lengthwise. Then spoon the egg yolks out and into a medium bowl. Now, put all the empty egg white halves in a single layer onto a clean plate or serving platter. Next, add all the remaining ingredients except the paprika and chives to the bowl with the egg yolks. Then use a potato masher or fork to mash everything together until it’s a creamy texture. Try to make the filling mixture as smooth as possible. Now, for the fun part! Use a small cookie scoop, ice cream scoop, or teaspoon to fill the empty egg whites with the creamy filling. You can also put the filling in a pastry bag or plastic bag and then pipe it into the egg whites if you prefer. After the egg whites are filled, sprinkle each one with a bit of paprika and chives to garnish. Then serve the deviled eggs immediately or store them in the fridge.
What Are Deviled Eggs?
Deviled eggs, sometimes they are spelled devilled eggs, are also known as stuffed eggs, Russian eggs or dressed eggs. While they go by many different names, they are essentially hard-boiled eggs that have been peeled, cut in half and then filled with a paste made from the egg yolks mixed with mayonnaise, mustard and other spices. They are called deviled eggs because in the 18th century, the term “deviled” came to be used in reference to spicy or zesty food, including eggs prepared with mustard, mayo and the egg yolk.

How Far Ahead Can I Make Deviled Eggs
Deviled eggs can be made ahead of time, but it’s best to fill the egg whites with the filling no more than one day in advance. Deviled eggs that have been sitting in the refrigerator for more than a day can become watery and lose their texture and flavor. If you need to make deviled eggs in advance, you can prepare the hard-boiled eggs and the filling separately, then assemble them just before serving. Store the hard-boiled eggs in the refrigerator for up to a week, and the filling for up to two days. When you’re ready to serve the deviled eggs, simply fill the egg whites with the filling and garnish as desired.
Storage
Refrigerator
Once you have filled the egg whites with the filling, cover the eggs with plastic wrap or aluminum foil and refrigerate them. Deviled eggs can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Make sure the deviled eggs are dry before storing them. Excess moisture can make the filling runny and affect the texture and flavor of the eggs. If you need to transport deviled eggs, use a container with a lid that fits tightly. You can also place the eggs on a tray lined with paper towels to absorb any excess moisture.
Freezer
Technically, you can freeze deviled eggs, but it is not recommended as freezing can affect the texture and taste of the eggs. Freezing can cause the filling to become watery and the egg whites to become rubbery.
