Notes
Follow this guide for how to hard boil eggs perfectly every time. For the basics, you'll want to cook the eggs in boiling water with 1 teaspoon baking soda for 11 minutes. Transfer to an ice bath for 15 minutes, then remove the shell.
If you want the filling of your deviled eggs to be ultra smooth and creamy, you can add all of the filling ingredients to a food processor and pulse until completely smooth.
Prepared deviled eggs can be made ahead and stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator up to 24 hours in advance. I recommend eating any leftover deviled eggs within 3 days of when they’re first prepared.
Leftover deviled eggs make a delicious addition to a BLT or other sandwiches. Instead of spreading mayonnaise on the bread of the sandwich, simply mash the deviled eggs on the bread.
This recipe is naturally gluten free and keto. Each deviled egg contains less than half a carb.
