FAQs
Can I make these ahead of time?Yes! You can prepare the egg yolk mixture up to two days in advance and store it in an airtight container or piping bag in the refrigerator2. Assemble the deviled eggs just before serving.
Can I freeze deviled eggs?I don’t recommend freezing deviled eggs, as the texture can become watery and unappetizing.
What’s the best way to hard-boil eggs?There are many ways to hard-boil eggs, but I find that placing the eggs in a saucepan, covering them with cold water, bringing the water to a boil, and then simmering for 10-12 minutes works best. Immediately transfer the eggs to an ice bath to stop the cooking process1.
What can I use instead of mayonnaise?If you’re not a fan of mayonnaise, you can substitute it with Greek yogurt, sour cream, or avocado1. Keep in mind that this will change the flavor and texture of the deviled eggs
