Southern Deviled Eggs {Dairy Free, Gluten Free}
This classic appetizer is an easy recipe that's perfect for any holiday or party!
Equipment
- 1 medium pot
- 1 spider strainer or slotted spoon
- 1 large mixing bowl
- 1 small mixing bowl
- 1 fork
- 1 small spatula
Ingredients
- 12 eggs
- ⅓ cup mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoon very small chopped bread and butter pickles* or sweet pickles
- 1½-3 tablespoon pickle juice
- heaping 1 teaspoon yellow mustard
- 2 pinches salt
- several dashes black pepper
- several dashes paprika optional garnish
Instructions
- Fill medium pot ⅔ full of warm tap water. Place on burner over HIGH heat and bring to a roiling boil. Use a slotted spoon or spider strainer to gently place eggs into the boiling water. Reduce heat to MEDIUM and continue to boil 14 minutes. Prepare an ice bath while eggs boil. When eggs finish cooking, drain and add to the ice bath to stop cooking.
- While eggs boil measure out other ingredients and chop pickles into very small pieces.
- Peel eggs**. Carefully slice eggs in half and add yolks to a small bowl. Set whites aside for later. Use a fork to break up egg yolk as evenly as possible.
- Then add mayonnaise, chopped pickles, pickle juice, yellow mustard, salt, and black pepper. Mix with a fork until well combine. Taste filling. If it tastes like it's missing something, it's typically more pickle juice! Add ½ tablespoon at a time until it tastes spectacular!
- Add to a small piping bag or resealable bag and snip off a corner enough that the pickle pieces can pass through. Squeeze evenly into the egg whites in a swirling motion (like you're making a soft serve ice cream cone). Enjoy!
Notes
*The absolute BEST bread and butter pickle is made by Sucker Punch. It’s sweet and tangy with just the right amount of kick. I am obsessed with these pickles!! Sweet pickles are a good substitute.
**To peel eggs more easily, crack the shell on a hard surface and then peel under cool running water.
