In case you didn’t know it, I am the official deviled egg maker in our family of 30ish. I always bring the eggs. If you’ve followed my blog for a while you know that I make the world’s easiest boiled eggs nearly every week. If I skip a week it’s most likely because I’m sick or we are out of eggs. Needless to say, I become pretty efficient and I’ve learned some great tricks I thought I would finally share in a post. I always make a dozen, but I’d recommend 18 if you have an extra large family. Deviled eggs are always a hit for large holiday meals or pot lucks, don’t you think? Pin this post for future gatherings, you won’t be sorry.
- Make your eggs ahead of time with the World’s Easiest Boiled Eggs tutorial {bumper car trick}
- Add 1 heaping tablespoon EXTRA of mayo {trust me; it makes the filling lighter}
- Whip your yolks with the whisk attachment with your Kitchen Aid if you have one {adds air to make it light and fluffy}
- Place your deviled eggs on a bed of leaf lettuce {makes a beautiful presentation and holds the eggs in place
- Fill in with extra veggies if you must {I used sliced waffle carrots because I realized I should have made more eggs}
- Garnish with your favorites: sliced olives or paprika {what’s your favorite garnish?}
Do you have any tips/tricks we can add to the list?
If my eggs don’t peel properly I make eggs salad and serve with crackers.
Godd idea, Justine!
We love deviled eggs, but sadly I only make them maybe twice per year. I always forget about them for some reason until Easter hits. I actually remembered them a few weeks ago and added them to this month’s menu plan….so we are having them with pancakes and bacon next week.
Isn’t that funny? Paprika is old school, my family did it too.
I always boil a couple extra eggs and use the yolks to over-stuff my deviled eggs. My pets get the extra or damaged whites.
