Three secrets for the perfect hard-boiled eggs. Step-by-step instructions to making deviled eggs look like they were made professionally.

The best recipe for making creamy deviled eggs for any occasion. Also learn the secret to preparing, cooking and peeling eggs easily.

Looking to make the perfect deviled egg from start to finish?

Then you have come to the right place.

When we attend barbecues or special holidays, I am the one that brings the deviled eggs. Thanks to our backyard chickens.  My point?  I have made a lot of deviled eggs in my lifetime and want to share my secret. I want to share with you my simple process for making deviled eggs but first I have three secrets in achieving the perfect hard-boiled egg.

What is the perfect hard-boiled egg?

An egg that is thoroughly cooked and peels easily.

Secret #1

The perfect hard-boiled egg is best achieved by steaming. I highly recommend using an egg cooker for best results. The egg cooker I have is nearly thirty years old and I don’t think they make it anymore. Therefore, I would recommend getting an egg cooker like the one picture below. This egg cooker is very similar to mine as it not only will steam your eggs, it can also make omelets and poached eggs as well.

Secret #2

Use an egg piercer

The picture below is the egg piercer I use. But, if you have a newer version egg cooker then they have a piercer already included. Matter of fact it is part of the measuring cup included in the box.

Let’s get started; How to Make the Perfect Creamy Deviled Eggs

• Rinse all your eggs under cool water.
• Pierce eggs (only pierce the larger end).
• Add water to egg cooker as specified by manufacturer.
• Place pierced side up in the egg cooker and arrange so none of the eggs are touching each other.

• Add cover to egg cooker and press the “start” button.

I like how you can see the eggs while they are cooking.

The egg cooker has a built-in timer and will shut off automatically when the steaming process is complete. It’s really that simple. That is why I love it!  Please note: the newer versions may not have an auto shut off.

Secret #3

I bet  you thought I forgot!  Not at all as this is the last process in making the perfect hard-boiled egg. Secret #3 is removing the steamed eggs from the steamer and placing them into a nice ice-cold bath to cool.

Ingredients for Making Creamy Deviled Eggs

• Hard boiled eggs
• mayonnaise (I use Hellman’s brand)
• prepared mustard
• toppings (optional)
• Making Game Day Deviled Eggs? Then you’ll need green onions.

Instructions for Making Creamy Deviled Eggs

Once the eggs have cooled down you can begin peeling the hard boiled eggs. Gently roll the egg back and forth on the counter top until it is completely cracked and then the shell should remove easily.

Preparing Egg Filling

• Cut eggs in halves (I have found using a cheese slicer works best) and place yolks into a medium-sized bowl. Set eggs whites aside in an egg storage container or on an egg plate. Mash egg yolks with fork until crumbly.

I don’t have actual measurements when making deviled eggs. I just add mayo and mustard until I get the consistency desired.

• Add 1 large Tablespoon scoop of mayonnaise to the mashed egg yolks.
• Add prepared mustard (I like to get artsy and use the squeeze top bottled mustard. Crazy as it may sound, but I make a figure “S” followed by the letter “O”).
• Mix all together using a hand mixer.

If mixture is too thick then add more mayo and mustard (a little at a time until desired consistency).

Filling Eggs

TIPS FOR PIPING EGG MIXTURE INTO EGGS WITHOUT A SPECIAL DEVICE

To fill the egg whites I use a quart sized baggie. Place the baggie in a glass with the edges folded down over the lip of the glass. Fill yolk mixture into baggie. Remove air and seal. Cut one corner of the bag. Now you are ready to begin piping egg mixture into egg whites.

Toppings or Garnishes for Deviled Eggs

After all egg whites have been filled it is time to decorate or rather add garnishes. Below are a few recommendations for toppings or garnishes:

• Green olives
• Sliced jalapeno peppers
• Sprinkle a little Sumac Spice for a unique twist
• Smoked paprika and or regular paprika (my guys like the smoked paprika)
• Fresh Beet Horseradish

Serve immediately or refrigerate until ready to eat.

Deviled Eggs For Game Day?!

To make fancy game day deviled eggs you’ll need green onion tops cut into small strips and place them on top of deviled eggs to look like football strings.

This is the perfect deviled egg container for storing your eggs in the refrigerator until ready to serve. The container is sold as a double. I purchased two so that way I can tier them together when making a large batch of deviled eggs.
