Deviled Eggs


With Memorial Day weekend fast approaching, is anyone else thinking about picnics and grilling outside? Well how about some Deviled Eggs for celebrating?

This recipe is simple and yummy.


Here's what you need: eggs, salt, black pepper, dill weed, dry mustard, paprika and mayonnaise.

The addition of the dill weed came from my friend, Pat, in Sonoma. Hi Pat!


The first thing you need to do, of course, is hard boil your eggs and peel them. I have to share with you my new discovery for hard boiling eggs so that the shell comes right off. I learned about it over at Green Lite Bites, on her video post with step-by-step instructions. I tried her method today and it really works.

The picture above is an egg that Stinkerbell peeled, which explains the gouge, but it really was easy to peel.


I love to use this Pampered Chef Decorator for my Deviled Egg innards. It makes them pretty and I don't have to wrestle the filling into the eggs. I also learned this trick from Pat, although she uses a regular pastry bag. I'm not real coordinated with pastry bags though, so I use this.


See? Pretty.


Here's the recipe card, complete with the instructions for hard-boiling the eggs. If you're anything like me, you'll forget the trick by the next time you go to make them. Like Easter in my house.

  4. I have always peeled mine that way, but I love her cooking technique. I also have one of those nifty Pampered Chef Decorators. Never been used! Now I know what I can do with it. :-)
    Now I'm sorting through her weight loss site looking for recipies of the weight loss variety. We know you don't post those here!

  5. Cool! My husband thanks you!

    PS, why are their deviled eggs but not angelic eggs? There is Devil's Food Cake and Angel's Food Cake.

  6. I love deviled eggs. Too bad we can't have eggs at my house because of Abbey's allergies. I could take down the whole dozen!

  7. Guess what I just did? Yep, I boiled a half dozen eggs because I had to check out your method and IT WORKED!!! Just egg salad for today, but maybe I'll devil them for this weekend. Thanks for sharing.

  13. My husband loves deviled eggs even though I don't touch them. After having been married almost 24 years I have never made them for the poor man. This recipe looks dangerously simple, and I even have the Pampered Chef gizmo. I think I will make these for Father's Day and surprise the heck out of him. Hopefully no heart attack will be had.

  14. Okay, so I made these this weekend. I didn't dig out my cookie gun. Since the move, I have no idea where to start looking anyway. Let's just say you should really check your measuring spoons carefully. I would hate for anyone to use 1/2 tbsp of pepper instead of the 1/2 tsp it called for... I added another dollap (how would you spell it) of mayo and it calmed the spice down. My 16 mo old ate and loved them. Guess the extra pepper wasn't so bad after all?...
