Is there any party, picnic, or potluck that isn’t made infinitely better with a dish of deviled eggs? This old-fashioned appetizer is a staple at spring gatherings and certainly around Easter holiday dinners. This year, instead of the everyday recipe, serve a tray of these tangy dill pickle deviled eggs.
This is why they’re called Deviled Eggs.
They incredibly easy to prepare. Just hard-boil eggs, then mash the yolks with a bit of mayo, Dijon. Add a splash of pickle juice, finely chopped up Dill pickle, and some fresh dill, and you can take your deviled eggs to the next level.
Here’s how to make perfectly hard-boiled eggs… or make hard-boiled eggs in an Instant Pot.
Tip: Make sure your pickles are super finely chopped, or that you’re using a piping bag tip that the pieces can easily be squeezed out of. You don’t want to have to fight with a piping bag clogging up all of the time.
The garnish is optional, but I think it adds a little something eggstra, no?
Make these eggs up to 3 days in advance of your party or gathering.
