How to store leftover deviled eggs
Deviled eggs taste best fresh, but they will keep for up to two days in the refrigerator in an airtight container.
Make-ahead instructions
Boil eggs and store them in the refrigerator for up to three days. Just before serving, peel the eggs, slice them and make the filling.
Alternatively, you can go a step further and peel the eggs and make the filling. Store them separately in the refrigerator for one to two days. Just before serving stuff the egg whites with the egg yolk filling.
Tips for making the best hard boiled eggs
- Don’t over cook the eggs, once the water boils, cover the pan and turn the heat off. After 15 minutes, the eggs will be cooked through.
- Add 1/2 teaspoon of baking soda to the water to raise the PH level of the egg whites which will help to prevent them from sticking to the shell.
- For best results, place the eggs under cold running water or an ice bath to cool them off completely which will make them easier to peel.
- Tap the egg on the bottom and then gently roll it on a countertop or tabletop with your palm; start peelin at the large end.
- If you are making deviled eggs for a crowd, make a few extra just in case the egg whites break apart or you need to adjust the texture of the filling.
Recipe FAQs
