How can I prevent my deviled eggs from turning brown?

To keep your deviled eggs fresh and appealing, add a thin layer of mayonnaise on top of the yolk filling before refrigerating. This will help prevent the yolks from discoloring due to exposure to air.

Can I make deviled eggs ahead of time?

Yes, you can prepare deviled eggs in advance! Store the egg whites and the filling separately in the refrigerator. Assemble the deviled eggs just before serving to maintain their freshness and appearance.

What can I use instead of mayonnaise in deviled eggs?

If you're looking for a healthier or dairy-free alternative, you can replace mayonnaise with Greek yogurt, avocado, or hummus. These options add a creamy texture and slightly tangy flavor to your deviled eggs.

Place the eggs in a saucepan and cover with cold water. Bring to a boil over high heat.
Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and let the eggs simmer for 1 minute. Remove from heat and cover. Let them sit for 14 minutes.
Transfer the eggs to a bowl of ice water for 5 minutes to cool.
Peel the eggs and cut them in half lengthwise. Remove the yolks and place them in a bowl.
Mash the yolks with mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, vinegar, salt, and pepper until smooth.
Spoon or pipe the yolk mixture into the hollowed egg whites.
Sprinkle with paprika, crumbled bacon, and chopped dill pickles for garnish (optional).
Serve immediately or chill before serving for best results.

If you prefer a spicy version, add a few dashes of hot sauce or a pinch of cayenne pepper to the filling.
