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.

Truffled Deviled Eggs
A little bit of truffle oil easily upgrades the flavor of classic deviled eggs. If you don't have pieces of black truffle to add to the filling you can add extra oil but be careful — a little truffle oil goes a long way. We reccomend tasting and adjusting as necessary.

Fried Deviled Eggs

It's an addictive mashup with the perfect spicy touch, thanks to pickled jalapeno.
