Fancy sounding as they may be, these French-Style Deviled Eggs are super simple & a snap to whip together. Last minute, or made hours ahead of time, they’re the next big thing to happen to deviled eggs. You’re gonna want to serve them at every party or potluck you host.

What is it about deviled eggs and parties? The two just seem to go hand in hand. Parties, potlucks, family get-togethers, and backyard barbecues.

The occasions the sons know we’re guaranteed to have them at.

This version of the classic features ingredients that remind me perfectly of a quality French vinaigrette. Dijon mustard, red wine, and shallots together in one dish … oh yes!

It sounds extravagant, I know, but all of the ingredients required are affordable and guaranteed to be at your local grocery store.

This version of deviled eggs features several bold flavors that work well together….and a variety of textures so you don’t get bored!

Not that you would get bored when you’re eating it at a party, but that’s beside the point.

These are some of the richest & creamiest deviled eggs you’ll ever make, and it really takes them to the next level.

As the holiday season continues, the sons’ will continue to enjoy this family fav. I will enjoy it as well, as long as the windows are open.

I smell enough phantom (and real farts) from them, without the added sulfurous mix of boiled eggs.

Even son # 2 who previously hated deviled eggs and avoided them at all costs, grabs several when I make these.

The first time I made these, he ate 5 of them. Even he couldn’t get enough!

So basically, these really need to be a part of your life, like, immediately. Especially the holiday party, get together with all the relatives-ing part.

Just make these ahead of time so nobody chokes on a thick cloud of air freshener.

Although, if your family’s anything like ours, there’s always that one relative who everyone will suspect anyway.

Don’t be put off by their fancy name either. Just because the ‘French’ bit makes them sound gourmet and probably hard to make- they’re really not. At the end of the day they’re just deviled eggs.

A basic enough recipe, with a couple of higher end ingredients mixed in. These mix-ins lead to fuller flavor, and an even more finger-lickin’ filling.

How To Make French Inspired Deviled Eggs

First, you’ll need to hard boil 6 eggs.

Place them in a pot, cover with cold water about 1 inch above the eggs. Bring the mixture to a boil, cover, remove the pot from heat, and let it sit for 10-12 minutes.

Immediately run the eggs under cold water until cooled to the touch. Carefully peel the eggs.

Using a sharp pairing knife, cut the eggs in half length wise. Scoop the yolks into a mixing bowl, and arrange the whites neatly on a serving platter.

Add all the rest of the ingredients, except the thyme into the mixing bowl. Using a fork, mash and mix up everything until everything’s smooth.

How To Pipe Deviled Eggs With A Plastic Bag

While you can always spoon the filling into the egg whites, this filling is a bit on the thinner side than a more traditional version. I like a clean, neat look to my deviled eggs- makes them more ‘egg-peeling’.

So I add the mixture to a sturdy ziplocking bag, twist the top to seal closed, snip off a corner, hold the bag directly over the egg white cavity, gently squeeze to apply pressure and ‘pipe’ each egg white full.

Snip your corner large enough so that any small chunks will still flow through, but small enough so that you can control the flow of the egg yolk mixture.

When you’ve used all your filling, simply toss the bag into the trash for easy clean up.

Can These Deviled Eggs Be Made Ahead Of Time?

I love that these deviled eggs are easy enough to whip up at the last minute. If you’re a planner though, or need to get started prepping this dish early- that’s easy to do too.

Make as instructed, cover, and refrigerate until ready to serve.

When ready to serve, pull them out and garnish each egg with a fresh sprig of thyme or sprinkle a pinch of dried thyme leaves out overtop of each egg.
