Basic Deviled Egg Recipe

No holiday buffet is complete without Classic Deviled Eggs. With a firm egg white, a creamy yolk filling, and a sprinkle of paprika, they’re just like mom used to make! They’re such an easy-to-make, crowd-pleasing appetizer that every generation can agree on.

Perfect for Holiday Meals

When it comes to traditional holiday meals, there are just certain foods I crave. Some creamy mashed potatoes, roasted green bean bundles, mom’s apple pie, and of course, deviled eggs. I’ve made a fancy version before (like these Pumpkin Spice Deviled Eggs) and I loved them, but sometimes, you just want the old classic.

Mayo, yellow mustard, salt and pepper give these deviled eggs the yolks that traditional tangy flavor that we all love so much. They’re incredibly easy, insanely delicious, and they’re sure to disappear in a flash.

How to Store Deviled Eggs

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.

Quick Tip: Safe not Sorry

Remember: It’s best to throw away foods made with mayonnaise after they have sat at room temperature for more than 2 hours. To make sure your leftovers are safe for consumption, refrigerate them within that two-hour window.
