The Secret Ingredient for the Best Deviled Eggs

But did you know that these delicious treats are actually devilish concoctions? Of course not!

As these recipes grew in popularity they gave rise to similar dishes like ‘deviled ham’ or even Italian’s own “fra diavolo sauce”, meaning devil’s pasta sauce.

Although in some parts of the United States places where faith has strong, deviled egg have became known as ‘stuffed’, ‘salad’, and/or dressed eggs’.

Heaven knows why…

Hard Boil Eggs

To make the best deviled eggs you need to start with perfect hard boiled eggs.

When I was young, my mom used an egg cooker that steamed the eggs for perfect hard boiled eggs.

The shell easily peeled off the egg and they were cooked to perfection.

Over the years I’ve tried many methods from boiling, to boiling and then let set in the hot water, and the ice bath plunge.

However since I purchased an InstaPot, my new favorite way to cook hard boiled eggs is the 5-5-5 method.

The eggs are cooked to perfection, no green yolks and easy to peel.

In fact the shells just slip off.

To cook perfect hard boiled eggs in the InstaPot, place 12 eggs carefully on the trivet in your InstaPot, add 1 1/2 c. water.

Close the lid and lock the pressure valve to seal, set the InstaPot pressure to high and set for 5 minutes.

Then let the pressure natural release for 5 minutes, then do a quick release.

Finally place in an ice bath for 5 minutes.

And that’s how you get perfectly hard boiled eggs every time!

How Long do Deviled Eggs Last

Refrigeration is a must when it comes to deviled eggs!

Keep them cold until you’re ready to serve and also keep in mind to refrigerate the boiled egg whites while preparing the delicious filling.

Once the egg whites are filled with yummy filling, store in the fridge right away—deviled eggs taste best within three or four days of being refrigerated.

To stay safe, we suggest only keeping prepared deviled eggs (previously stored in the refrigerator) around for two max days before tossing out any leftovers – freshness matters!

What’s The Secret Ingredient?

A few years ago I was introduced to the seasoning Tajin Clasico.

It can be found in the Latin section at your local grocer or on Amazon.

I first used it on grilled meats and I was hooked!

The mild red peppers with the hint of lime it music to my tase buds!

Then I began experiment and sprinkling it on baked sweet potatoes, cucumbers and even watermelon.

One day my grandson was helping me prepare deviled eggs and we decided to try the Tajin and let me say, it was a hit!

Everyone wanted to know what I did to get that yummy flavor.

Prepare Deviled Egg Filling

First you’ll want to slice your hard boiled eggs in half lengthwise.

I like to use a serrated knife for this.

Then place the egg yolks in a small mixing bowl and place the egg whites on a plate and refrigerate until ready to fill.

And begin to mash the egg yolks.

For the ingredients we’ll use mayonnaise, spicy brown mustard, Tajin Clasico, salt, pepper and bacon.

Add the mayonnaise, brown mustard, Tajin, salt and pepper in the mixing bowl and stir until very smooth.

Fold in the crumbled bacon and fill then fill place the egg yolk filling into the cavity of the egg whites.

I like to use my small cookie scoop, or you can also use a pastry bag fitted with a large tip to fill each egg white.

Place filled deviled eggs on a platter and garnish with additional bacon and chopped cilantro, if desired.
