  1. Peel and hard boil 6 eggs. If you add lots of salt to the water, the eggs will be easier to peel.[4]
  2. Carefully slice the eggs in half.
  3. Scoop out the yolks with a teaspoon. Gently squeeze the egg as you nudge the yolk out of the egg with the spoon.

Tips

  • If you don't have a piping bag, you can fill a teaspoon with the egg mixture and spoon it into each egg white opening. It may not be as neat, but with practice it'll be just as pretty as with a piping bag. You can also cut off the corner of a plastic sandwich bag and use that.
  • When peeling off shell or skin, make sure that the egg is not too hot! To prevent this, drain boiled eggs then add cold water to the pot. Let sit for a few minutes. Gently roll the eggs to crack them lightly. Place cracked eggs in cold water again. This should make them easier to peel and prevent you from burning your fingers. Dry on a paper towel.
  • If you want your yolk centered perfectly in the egg white, turn your egg carton sideways in the fridge for a day before boiling.
  • If possible, use free-range eggs. The yolks are richer and give a deeper, richer flavor to the egg.
  • Egg yolks are high in cholesterol. Although incredibly delicious, do not eat a whole plate of deviled eggs by yourself!
  • Those with a penchant for uniformity might try this recipe by slicing the eggs lengthwise and not cutting the top and bottom: the result is more stable, and more uniform.
  • Try mayonnaise, a little dry mustard or regular mustard, a little lemon juice, and some Tabasco sauce.
  • Another quick garnish is paprika, which can add some color with a flick of the wrist.
  • Around Christmas time, you can quickly make festive deviled eggs by topping half the eggs with paprika and half with chopped parsley. Very colorful!
  • Try topping with dried, powdered red sumac, which can be found at most Middle Eastern grocery stores.
  • In the southern US, it's traditional to add a little drained sweet pickle relish to the filling.
  • Another traditional preparation involves excluding the butter and mixing two teaspoons mayonnaise (or Miracle Whip) with one teaspoon mustard into the yolks, then sprinkling the finished product with paprika. The addition of sweet pickle relish is optional.
  • Another delicious addition to the basic recipe is dill weed and dried lemon peel. Or, you could use these items as the sprinkled garnish.
  • Fresh eggs are harder to peel, which can really mess up your presentation. To get older eggs, you can:
  • Buy your eggs several days in advance
  • Buy your eggs at a place where the inventory doesn't turn over very quickly, like a gas station.
