We love serving deviled eggs in our house before any kind of gathering.
But we like to kick things up with some extra flavor because we get bored with the plain ones pretty quick.
This variation spices things up thanks to a healthy tablespoon of pungent, peppery horseradish.
The unexpected boldness complements the creamy yolk filling perfectly, making these an addictive party treat you won’t be able to get enough of.
Ingredients
You’ll need:
- Eggs– Hard boil them ahead of time and remove the shells. My favorite way to do this is in the air fryer. You’ll get perfect eggs each time. This is the air fryer I use.
- Mayonnaise– Make sure you are using real mayonnaise here not mayonnaise style dressing or Miracle Whip.
- Horseradish– Use the prepared or pickled version of horseradish.
- Dill– For best results use fresh chopped dill instead of the variety. However, in a pinch feel free to substitute dried dill.
- Mustard– Stone ground mustard adds even more spice to this dish. For a less spicy version, you could use yellow or Dijon mustard.
- Spices– salt and pepper and smoked paprika for garnish
How to Make
To start, make sure your eggs are hardboiled, cooled and peeled ahead of time.
When you are ready to make the deviled eggs, use a sharp knife and cut each egg in half lengthwise.
Then gently remove the yolks and put them in a mixing bowl. Set the egg white shells aside.
Once all the yolks are in a mixing bowl, mash them with a fork.
Then add the remaining ingredients except for the smoked paprika to the bowl and whisk the ingredients together until smooth.
Then either spoon the filling evenly into the egg white shells or fill a piping bag and pipe the filling evenly into the eggs.
Finish by putting the filled eggs onto a serving platter and garnishing with extra dill and smoked paprika.
You can serve them immediately or chill for 15-20 minutes prior to serving.
Can I make these ahead of time?
Yes! You can make the eggs up to two days ahead of time.
If you do this, you may want to keep the whites and yolk mixture separate until just prior to serving.
Make sure to tightly cover both mixtures and store in the fridge.
If you want to make them earlier the same day you are serving them and assemble them, you can.
Just be sure to not garnish the eggs until right before you are ready to serve.
Other Garnishes
While smoked paprika is a classic garnish for deviled eggs, you can absolutely have some fun with the garnishes and finishing touches!
My favorite garnish to add to these is crisp, crumbled bacon.
Other ideas:
- Sprinkle on fresh chives or chopped parsley.
- For extra bite, add a fresh radish slice to each egg.
- A little bit of chopped ham.
Tips and tricks
- If you want an extra creamy filling for your deviled eggs, use a hand mixer or even an immersion blender to get it really smooth
- No piping bag? No problem! A ziplock bag with tip snipped off is easiest way to pipe filling into egg white shells. .
- Want the eggs a touch more mild? Use less horseradish or switch to a mild mustard.
