- yellow mustard
- sweet relish
- salt and black pepper
- paprika
See recipe card for quantities.
Instructions
- Step 1: Bring water to a boil on the stove on high heat. Once water is boiling, place eggs in water carefully. Boil for 12 minutes. Place eggs in an ice bath to cool down. Peel the shells and slice eggs in half. Remove the egg yolks into a large bowl and set the egg whites aside.
- Step 2: Mash the egg yolks and add the mayonnaise, yellow mustard, sweet relish, salt and pepper. Mix well. The egg yolk mixture should be a creamy texture. Add the yolk mixture to a piping bag.
- Step 3: Place the egg whites on a plate where they will not move much. Pipe the yolk mixture into the egg white halves.
- Step 4: Sprinkle paprika on top of eggs. Serve chilled.
Hint: use a pressure cooker or Instant pot to bowl the eggs. This is the best way to get perfect-hard boiled eggs results quickly.
Substitutions
- Mayonnaise - replace with a whole 30 mayonnaise to create whole 30 compliant deviled eggs. You can also switch it out with plain Greek yogurt
- Mustard - replace with whole 30 compliant mustard to make a whole 30 version
- Sweet Relish - replace with dill relish for a tangier flavor
Variations
- Spicy - add hot sauce to the yolk mix to add some heat into the dish. This is one of the best ways to change up this recipe!
- Avocado - replace the mayonnaise with avocado. Even deviled eggs can be changed into healthy recipes.
- Peppery- add some diced jalapeños to add a little peppery kick to the flavor profile.
- Bacon- add some chopped bacon to the egg yolk mixture to add a ton of extra flavor to this classic dish.

Equipment
To make this classic recipe, you will need a small bowl or a medium bowl to mix the yolk mixture, you will also need a pastry bag to pipe the yolk mixture into the egg whites. You will also need a sharp knife to slice the eggs in half.
You will also need deviled egg trays to store and serve the deviled eggs. If you are transporting them this is a must, that is something I have learned through experience and it gets messy if you do not have a deviled egg tray.
How to Store Deviled Eggs with Relish
Store leftover deviled eggs in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-5 days. If your eggs sat out a while when being served, make sure you throw out extras. You don't want them to spoil while sitting out and it is not worth risking food poisoning.
These ingredients do not stand up well to freezing.
Top Tip
If you don't have a piping bag, you can use a plastic bag or Zip-loc with the corner cut off. If you are using a piping bag, add the egg mixture into plastic wrap first, roll it up and cut off the end. Place the cut end into the piping bag. This prevents the extra egg yolk mixture from pouring out the top when piping into the eggs.
FAQ
I think both white vinegar and apple cider vinegar adds too much tang to the dish. I like to keep my deviled eggs simple.
This not only stops the cooking process, but it also makes it easier to peel eggs.
You can, but this will vastly change the flavor profile. I think dijon mustard tends to be a little bit tangier so if that is a flavor profile you enjoy, go for it.
