Classic Deviled Eggs are a staple at almost any family gathering or holiday! With a few simple and inexpensive ingredients you’ll have a delicious bite-sized accompaniment to any meal!

Classic Deviled Eggs Recipe | JenniferCooks.com

Something so simple as these classic deviled eggs can be made anytime of the year and for any reason.  We make them often in our house because my husband and I are typically watching our carbs and eating Keto so, deviled eggs are a great snack when we’re hungry.

What to serve Classic Deviled Eggs With?

In our family, classic deviled eggs are pretty much served as a condiment at family get-togethers.  They’re delicious served with BBQ, like my Smoked Chicken Leg Quarters or try them alongside my BBQ Grilled Shrimp!

Need a container to store and carry your deviled eggs? 

This Snap ‘N Stack 2-Layer Food Storage Container with Egg Holder Trays is my very favorite!

Tips for making great deviled eggs:

  1. Use old eggs. Yes, you read that right! Eggs that are closer to their expiration date will peel the easiest.  Very fresh eggs will be very difficult to peel and you’ll end up with chunks missing from the whites and you’ll wind up very frustrated.
  2. I like to have lots of yolk filling in my eggs, so I boil a few extra eggs and discard the extra whites.
  3. Get creative! Add dill relish, avocado or pimento cheese to the yolk mixture to mix it up.  Also, sometimes instead of paprika I like to sprinkle Everything But The Bagel Seasoning on the tops of each one…it’s delicious!
