Variation ideas

  • Mustard – Use flavored mustard if you want to make something a little different instead of yellow mustard. Dijon mustard is a great choice.

  • Hot Sauce – Add hot sauce sriracha sauce to the egg mixture to spice things up.
  • Pickle Relish– add a few spoons of sweet pickle relish to the yolk mixture.
  • Pickle Juice – Pour a little pickle juice into the yoks and mix for a new taste.

  • Deviled Eggs Carrier – I use one of thesehandy Egg Keepers to tote the deviled eggs around. I have the Rubbermaid container and I love how tight the lid fits. We have taken this many of places and never had an accident. You can see all of the containers
  • Use Piping Bags – You can certainly just scoop the egg mixture into the boiled eggs. However, I like to use a piping bag because it makes the so pretty! If you are just doing a few, a sandwich bag will work too. Just keep in mind if you are doing a lot, those can bust.
