What Are Deviled Eggs?
Deviled eggs are an appetizer or finger food that is made from hard-boiled eggs. The yolks are removed, turned into a filling, and then put back into the white portion of the eggs.

The ingredients for this simple deviled eggs recipe are very common and easy to find. Here’s the basic list:

How To Boil Eggs For Deviled Eggs
I might be stating the obvious here, but the process for how to boil eggs for deviled eggs is no different than boiling eggs for other purposes. The key is getting the yolk just right!
For perfect deviled eggs, the yolk should be pale yellow and firm, but not dry. And, you definitely don’t want the dreaded green ring around it!
Fortunately, my guide for how to boil eggs will make sure you get perfect deviled eggs every time. Using that method, you’ll want to set the timer for about 8 or 9 minutes. Plus, they’ll be easy to peel, too!
You can also bake hard boiled eggs in the oven if you prefer.
How To Make Deviled Eggs With Bacon
This deviled egg recipe with bacon is ready in less than 20 minutes!
- Boil your eggs. Boil your eggs for 8-9 minutes just like this. Be sure to plunge them into ice water afterward, to stop the cooking process.
- Make the filling. Peel the eggs, slice them in half the long way, and place the yolks into a bowl. Mash the yolks with a fork and stir in mayonnaise, mustard, apple cider vinegar, garlic powder, and sea salt to the eggs.
- Fill the eggs. Pipe the egg yolk mixture back into the egg white halves.
TIP: No special piping bag required. Just use a regular bag with a corner snipped.

I did a test drive of 4 servings tonight to see if they were worth taking to the Labor Day celebrations.
They were absolutely delicious and I am definitely taking them to the celebrations.
Definitely the best deviled eggs I have ever made. Thank you so much for posting this recipe.
Wayne
So very good. I used the spicy avocado mayo. for the mix. Just not as much (my family has not gotten used to the extreme spiciness of it), tasting as I made it. Use mayo next time 50/50.
Michelle Petty
Way way WAY to vinegarry!! Omit the vinegar all together or taste before adding!
Wholesome Yum M
Hi Michelle, Sorry these didn’t suit your tastes. Feel free to scale back on the amount of apple cider vinegar next time.
Tracy
Absolutely agree, the vinegar was very overpowering, I would omit it altogether next time. Without that, I feel it would be a solid recipe. Thanks anyway Maya – my first time making deviled eggs!
Etta Milhoan
I am so happy to see this recipe. We have deviled eggs every time our family gets together. These will be on my serving plate right beside the big Turkey. Love your recipes because I have to watch my food intake.

Good morning, Maya:
I wish to apologize for my earlier note where it was mentioned that there was difficulty printing out this recipe.
The computer was left on when I had to leave the room for awhile. When I returned to it, I decided to restart it. Guess what? When your site returned to the screen, it looked a little bit better, and when the “box” where it says”print” was taped, it printed out the recipe! What a nice surprise!
Evidently, rebooting was the solution here.
Thanks for posting this recipe. It’s sure to be a winner!

This looks great. Gonna make some today. Never used Cider vinegar before. However, I think the fat should be 12.5g , 1/4 cup is 12 tbsp = 1tbsp per egg half, since the recipe uses 6 eggs. Which is a bonus for Keto đŸ˜€ (13.5 with Hellman’s real mayo vs avocado oil mayo….)
Thank you for the recipe!
Joanna Rogers
A 1/4 c is NOT 12TBSP
Wholesome Yum M
Hi Joanna, I think it’s just a typo. There are 12 teaspoons in 1/4 cup.
Taylor
I’m so glad that I came across this recipe today! The eggs turned out great!
Sharita Glass
Are the fat, protein and carbs numbers for half an egg or one whole egg (2 halfs)?
Wholesome Yum M
Hi Sharita, The nutrition is for one half egg, or one deviled egg.
Ann
Yummy recipe! I forgot to sprinkle the bacon to top and my family still loved them. They said these deviled eggs were the best I have made yet. The recipe was delicious, definitely a keeper.
Nellie Tracy
These are a great recipe! Can’t wait to make these for Easter
wilhelmina

Jessica Formicola
I will definitely be making these deviled eggs with our leftover Easter eggs!
Sisley White
I’ve never tried deviled eggs before now I can see how easy they are I will try as soon as I can.
Natalie Ellis
I love this idea but still thinking about what food to use with these eggs because normally I just eat minimum 1 egg, maybe some sandwiches or salad…
