7 Delicious Deviled Egg Recipes

The season is coming where we all end up with a bunch of hardboiled eggs and we aren’t sure what to do with them. So instead of traditional deviled eggs, I wanted to share 7 delicious ways you can make deviled eggs. Go ahead make something a little different for your next party.

Each of these recipes is scaled for a dozen eggs, which should yield about 20 appetizer portions. The math whizzes among readers will see a dozen eggs in the ingredients and calculate that should make 24 appetizers rather than 20. But, stuff happens. The devil does wield power, especially when you are dealing with eggs. Eggs crack while boiling or peel less than perfectly. And besides, the cook must taste-test the finished product 😉

To make deviled eggs, the basic steps are the same for each recipe:

Hard boil one dozen eggs.
Carefully cut each egg in half lengthwise and pop out the egg yolk into your mixing bowl. Reserve the whites until you’re ready to serve (in a zip lock bag if you’ll be transporting to a party).
Mash the egg yolks together with the filling(s) of your choice. Transfer the filling to a zip lock bag and refrigerate until you’re ready to serve. When you’re ready, follow the directions to assemble and serve below.

To Assemble and Serve Your Delicious Deviled Eggs:

Arrange the egg white halves on your serving tray. Snip off one bottom corner of your zip lock back of filling. Depending on how chunky the ingredients of your filling, the hole may need to be as much as half an inch across.
Grasp the bag and squeeze the filling toward the snipped corner. Position the corner over the target egg and pipe the mixture into the cavity of the egg.
Add any garnish you desire, serve, and watch them disappear. Repeat as necessary to refill the tray.
