Tips for the Perfect Deviled Eggs

To ensure your deviled eggs turn out perfectly every time, use eggs that are at least a week old. Fresh eggs can be challenging to peel, while slightly older eggs will come out of their shells more easily. After boiling, place the eggs in an ice bath to cool them rapidly. This not only makes peeling easier but also helps to achieve that perfect, creamy yolk filling.

When filling the egg whites, you can get creative. Use a piping bag for a more elegant presentation, or simply spoon the mixture in for a rustic look. Don’t forget to sprinkle a pinch of paprika on top for an extra touch of flavor and color. This small step can make a big difference in presentation and taste.
