Our Best Deviled Egg Recipes

Deviled eggs are a classic and it’s not hard to see why. As long as you know how to cook and peel hard-boiled eggs, you’re only a few pantry staples away from indulging in their rich-and-creamy goodness. Whether you make deviled eggs the traditional way or dress them up with fancy add-ins like crispy bacon, truffle oil or succulent lobster, they’re guaranteed to be a hit at picnics, parties, barbecues and more. Wondering where to start? You can’t go wrong with our test kitchen’s tried-and-true take. The filling for the hard-boiled eggs gets some kick from mustard and hot sauce. We like the simplicity of the flavor (it reminds us of a good egg salad)—but you could easily consider this a base recipe and use your imagination to add other toppings or mix-ins.

Fried Deviled Eggs

Crunchy and creamy join forces to make an upgraded deviled egg that will upend your usual backyard BBQ fare. Fried hard-boiled egg whites are filled with a tangy egg yolk filling: think Scotch egg (a soft-boiled egg encased in sausage and then breaded and deep-fried) meets deviled egg. It's an addictive mashup with the perfect spicy touch, thanks to pickled jalapeno.

Blue Deviled Eggs

We double down on the salty blue cheese in this recipe by adding it to the filling — and sprinkling more on top. A little hot sauce and fresh celery give these deviled eggs a flavor that will remind you of Buffalo wings.
