Recipe FAQs

How do you get lumps out of deviled egg filling?

I like to use a hand mixer when whipping up the egg filling to ensure it gets nice and smooth and lump-free.

How long will deviled eggs keep in the fridge?

Deviled eggs can keep for up to 3 to 4 days in the fridge, but to me, they always taste better the fresher they are!

How do you keep deviled eggs from sliding?

When filling the egg whites with the yolk mixture, hang on to the egg white with your hand to keep it from slipping and sliding away from you. They’re slick little guys, so using a plate with a high lip or edge is also helpful in keeping them on the dish.
