Deviled Eggs

IMG 1842 Deviled Eggs

Deviled eggs are the perfect side dish to enjoy with grilled food, sandwiches, or barbecue flavors. Packed with protein and super easy to make, this frugal dish is also one I often take to potlucks.

Deviled Eggs

  • 13 hard boiled eggs (I like to stick an extra egg in the pot just in case one busts during cooking, or the white gets torn up during the crack-n-peel.)
  • 1/4 c. mayonnaise
  • 3 T. yellow mustard
  • 1 T. pickle relish
  • 1 T. dill pickle juice
  • paprika

Slice the eggs lengthwise and pop out the yolks.  Mash yolks with a fork until crumbly.  Add mayo, mustard, pickle relish, and pickle juice.  Stir until combined.  Spoon mixture into eggs.   Sprinkle with paprika.  Chill until served.

Makes 2 dozen deviled eggs.

A few tips:

  • If you want to get fancy, pipe the filling into the eggs with a cake decorating tip.
  • I’ve never measured these ingredients until I was preparing to write this post!  Definitely an “add and taste” recipe.
  • Vinegar can be substituted for the dill pickle juice.
  • I’ve used both sweet pickle relish and dill pickle relish with success.  I’ve also gone without.  Deviled eggs are very forgiving.

Deviled eggs are a fun side dish for Easter Dinner.  See what else is being cooked up for Easter over at Life as Mom!

I have never made deviled eggs mostly because it involves everything that I do not like, but I know I should try to make them because my husband loves them. So I may attempt these. Thank you for posting the recipe!

Sometimes I put curry in my deviled eggs and I like that flavor.

I love deviled eggs. They make perfect little treats for a picnic. I have never tried making them fancy though. I will have to try that.

I’ve never much cared for deviled eggs (because I don’t like the taste of mayo), but your recipe intrigues me with its pickle addition… pickles (and relish), I love! :)
