Deviled eggs aren’t just for Easter celebrations. They’re a great choice for picnics and backyard barbecues too. Our recipe is easy to make, lighter than most, and includes an exciting flavor variation made with curry powder.
How To Make this Recipe
Deviled eggs are not hard to make, but they do take a little bit of time.
- Cut your hard-cooked eggs in half lengthwise, remove the yolks and place them in the work bowl of a food processor or blender. A food processor give the yolks a silky smooth texture.
- Add mayonnaise, plain yogurt, white wine vinegar, Dijon-style mustard, dried dill, celery seed, and a dash hot sauce.
- Process until smooth and creamy, then season to taste with salt and pepper.
- Spoon the mixture into a zip-top freezer bag, cut the corner of the bag, and fill the egg white halves with the yolk mixture.
- Sprinkle with paprika for garnish.
Recipe Variation: Curried Deviled Eggs
To make Curried Deviled Eggs, omit the white wine vinegar, Dijon-style mustard, dried dill, celery seed, and hot sauce and replace with the following (see the printable recipe for quantities):
- Curry powder
- Cumin
- Pinch of cayenne
How to Make Perfect Hard-Cooked Eggs on the Stove
Making perfect hard-cooked eggs is simple and if you follow this method, you shouldn’t get that unsightly (albeit harmless) gray ring around the yolk.
- Gently place the eggs in a saucepan large enough to hold them in one layer.
- Add cool water to the pan to cover them by about 1 inch.
- Bring the water to a boil, then immediately remove the pan from the heat, cover and let stand for 15 minutes (for large eggs).
- Drain and cool by running cold water into the pan until the eggs are cool enough to handle for peeling.
