My family roots are in the south, so I know that Deviled Eggs are a non-negotiable during vacation, cookouts and Sunday dinners. I make sure that mine is perfectly seasoned, with smooth, downy yolks and that small dusting of bell pepper to finish them. If you have ever had Deviled Eggs boring or dry, don’t worry, I will show you exactly how you can make them well every time.
Deviled Egg ingredients
- Eggs: the basis of every Deviled Egg recipe, the whites hold the filling and the yolks are pureed in a rich, creamy center.
- Mayo: brings filling together and makes it flexible, creamy and rich. Real southern people usually use Duke’s or Hellman’s for the brand. Use your favorite type of Mayo and brand.
- Mustard: adds a spicy kick that balances the wealth of the Mayo and the yolks.
- Pickle Relish: a southern classic for Deviled eggs, it gives a sweet, spicy bite and extra texture in the filling. There is always a debate about whether you use Sweet Relish or Dill. Use what you love and what you know, the people who prefer to eat it! My family has always used Sweet Relish.
- Creole herbs: This can be a curve ball herb addition for many people! Feel free to keep it standard, and skip it and only use salt and pepper if you want. Creole herbs will not make this spicy, it will just add a little daring taste (garlic powder, onion powder, thyme, oregano and basil). It is an upgrade.
- Paprika: The Finishing Touch, a touch of color on top with a subtle smokiness that binds it all together. I always use smoked bell pepper because I am addicted to that extra taste.
