Tips to Make the Best Deviled Eggs

Have you ever had something that was just really amazing and you were left wondering what they did different? Well, you don’t have to wonder what makes the best deviled eggs. I’m spilling all of our secrets. It seems simple, but these tips and tricks take deviled eggs over the top!

• First, you want to start with refrigerated ingredients.
• Boil older eggs so that they’re easy to peel.
• Use Miracle Whip, not mayonnaise. There’s a difference.
• Don’t just buy any pickles – use sweet gherkins for added crunch and finely chop. The smaller they are, the better.

1. Boil eggs. Cool, peel and rinse.

3. Transfer mixture to fill your egg halves using a cookie scoop.
4. Optional: top with a sprinkle of paprika.

How to Make Chick Easter Deviled Eggs:

• Cut hardboiled eggs in half on the round side for circles.
• Use an ice cream or cookie scoop to scoop the filling into the egg.
• Cut carrots into slices and then into thirds creating triangles for beaks. Insert the long end into the middle of the chick so that the beak points out.
• Use olives or black gel icing to create eyes (I promise with just a touch you don’t taste it!) If you prefer, you can use peppercorns.

These darling Easter deviled eggs are the best way to use Easter eggs. The food coloring / colored eggs whites make these Easter chicks look even more fun for kids. They’re always a hit!

These are the perfect dish to serve for brunch or Easter dinner.
