My mom was known for her deviled eggs, but since I only make things that I love, I’ve never shared them with you. According to Chris, friends and family, my mom and sister make the best deviled eggs and I deprive him of his beloved deviled eggs.

So I invited my sister to make them for you today and share their recipe for deviled eggs. When she sent me the ingredients, I laughed. She’s very specific. I always thought I was the picky one!

I assure you these are really easy deviled eggs, so easy, she even makes them by heart! I had her measure for you today and hope you enjoy them as much as our friends, family and neighbors do.

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.

Intrigued? Well, I was. I never knew all the “science” that went into their deviled eggs, it’s no wonder they’re frequently requested.

While deviled eggs are an Easter favorite, our friends and family enjoy them year round and I know yours will too!

How to Make the Best Deviled Eggs

To see how easy the Best Deviled Eggs Recipe is, watch the video below.

1. Boil eggs. Cool, peel and rinse.
   Slice eggs in half lengthwise and place on a platter.
2. Place egg yolks in mixing bowl and beat with a whisk. Add Miracle Whip, mustard and sweet pickle juice. Blend until fluffy, smooth and creamy. Add chopped pickles and lightly blend.
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.
