Deviled Eggs with Mustard are a tasty treat that’s easy to make! With creamy yolks mixed with zesty mustard, these eggs pack a flavorful punch.
They’re perfect for parties or a simple snack. I love making a big batch, but my family usually finishes them off before I get a chance! 😄
Key Ingredients & Substitutions
Eggs: Large eggs are the best choice for deviled eggs, providing a nice balance of white and yolk. If you’re looking for a healthier option, consider using hard-boiled egg whites and substituting the yolks with avocado or hummus.
Mustard: Yellow mustard gives a classic flavor, but if you prefer something sharper, switch to Dijon. I love mixing in a bit of spicy brown mustard for an extra kick!
Mayonnaise: For a lighter version, use Greek yogurt instead of mayonnaise. It still offers creaminess but with added protein. If vegan, try a plant-based mayo.
Vinegar: Apple cider vinegar adds a subtle sweetness. However, white vinegar is perfect if you want a more straightforward tang. Each brings its own flavor, so choose based on what you enjoy!
How Can I Make Perfectly Peeled Hard-Boiled Eggs?
Peeled eggs can be a bit tricky, but here’s how to make it easier. Cooling the eggs in ice water after boiling helps separate the membrane from the shell. Use these steps:
- Cover the eggs in cold water before boiling, ensuring they’re fully submerged.
- Once boiled, immediately put them in an ice-water bath for 5 minutes.
- Crack the shells all over lightly and peel under running water. This assists with removing stubborn bits.
With practice, you’ll have beautifully peeled eggs every time!

How Much Time Will You Need?
This delightful recipe takes about 15-20 minutes of prep time and an additional 30 minutes to chill in the refrigerator. So, in roughly 50 minutes, you’ll have delicious, creamy Deviled Eggs ready for serving!
Step-by-Step Instructions:
1. Boiling the Eggs:
Start by placing your eggs in a single layer in a saucepan. Make sure to cover them with cold water by about an inch. Turn the heat to medium-high and bring the water to a rolling boil. Once boiling, cover the saucepan with a lid and remove it from heat. Let the eggs sit for about 10-12 minutes to cook through gently.
2. Cooling and Peeling:
After the time is up, carefully drain the hot water from the saucepan. Immediately transfer the eggs to a bowl filled with ice water. Let them chill for at least 5 minutes—this process helps make peeling easier. Once cooled, peel the eggs carefully to keep the whites intact.
3. Preparing the Filling:
Slice each egg in half lengthwise. Gently scoop out the yolks into a medium bowl, placing the whites on a serving platter. Next, mash the yolks with a fork until crumbly. Add the mayonnaise, mustard, vinegar, salt, and pepper to the yolks. Mix everything until smooth and creamy, adjusting the seasoning to your liking.
4. Assembling the Deviled Eggs:
Now it’s time to fill the eggs! Using a spoon or a piping bag, carefully fill each egg white half with the mustard-yolk mixture. Once all the eggs are filled, sprinkle paprika and chopped green onions or chives on top for a fresh touch.
5. Chilling Before Serving:
For the best flavor, refrigerate the filled eggs for at least 30 minutes before serving. This helps all the flavors meld together beautifully.
Enjoy your tangy and creamy Deviled Eggs with Mustard! They’re a hit at gatherings or as a savory snack anytime!
Can I Use Different Types of Mustard?
Absolutely! You can use yellow mustard for a classic taste, or switch it up with Dijon for a stronger flavor. Adding a bit of spicy brown mustard can also give your deviled eggs an exciting twist!
How Can I Make The Filling Creamier?
If you want an even creamier filling, try adding an extra tablespoon of mayonnaise or a splash of cream. You can also mix in some mashed avocado for a unique flavor and added creaminess!
Can I Make These Eggs Ahead of Time?
Yes, you can! Prepare the deviled eggs up to a day in advance and store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator. Just make sure to keep them covered so they don’t dry out.
How to Store Leftover Deviled Eggs?
Store any leftover deviled eggs in an airtight container in the refrigerator. They’re best consumed within 2-3 days for optimal freshness and flavor. If they start to look less appealing, it’s time to let them go!
