Best Deviled Eggs

Deviled eggs are a timeless appetizer, perfect for gatherings, holidays, or simply as a flavorful snack. This particular recipe takes the classic deviled egg and enhances it with a few secret ingredients that elevate both taste and texture. Unlike traditional boiling methods, this version uses steaming for the eggs, which helps ensure that they peel easily and have a smooth, tender texture. The result is a creamy, tangy, and slightly spicy filling that’s piped into perfectly prepared egg whites, making these deviled eggs dangerously addictive. Whether you’re serving them at Easter brunch, a summer BBQ, or a dinner party, these eggs are guaranteed to disappear fast.

Ingredients

• 7 hard-boiled eggs, peeled and halved lengthwise

• 1/4 cup mayonnaise

• 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard

• 1/2 teaspoon dried mustard

• 1/2 teaspoon dill pickle juice

• 1/4 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce

• 1/4 teaspoon paprika

• 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper

• Pinch of salt

• Pinch of cayenne pepper or a drop of hot sauce

• 1/2 teaspoon chopped parsley or fresh chives (for garnish)
  
  

Instructions

1. Steam the Eggs:
Place a steamer basket inside a large pot and fill the pot with a few inches of water. Set it over medium heat and cover with a lid. Once the steam begins to rise, add the eggs, cover the pot again, and steam for 15 minutes. After cooking, immediately transfer the eggs to an ice bath and let them sit for 10 minutes to stop the cooking process. Once cooled, peel the eggs – they should peel easily thanks to the steaming method.

2. Prepare the Filling:
Slice the peeled eggs in half lengthwise and carefully remove the yolks. Place the yolks in a small mixing bowl or mini food processor. Add mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, dried mustard, dill pickle juice, Worcestershire sauce, paprika, black pepper, salt, and cayenne pepper. Mash or blend the ingredients until smooth and creamy.

3. Fill the Egg Whites:
Spoon the filling into a piping bag fitted with an extra-large star tip, or use a zip-top bag with a snipped corner. Pipe the filling into the hollow of each egg white half. Sprinkle with additional paprika and garnish with chopped parsley or chives for a professional finish.
