Seeking Good Deviled Egg Recipe

Hi, S. - This recipe is always a hit! Hope he loves it!
6 eggs
3 T mayo
1/2 t lemon juice
1 t prepared mustard
1 t Worchestershire sauce
1/2 t salt
dash pepper
(you can also add 1/2 C canned salmon, & I usually use garlic salt instead of plain salt)
Have a great day! N.

I know you said that you are not the dash of this or that sort of person, but I think that you still need to experiment a bit to find out what your family likes in a deviled egg. I make mine with Miracle Whip, brown mustard (usually Gulden's), and Worchestershire sauce. I then top them with a generous sprinkling of Old Bay. In our family, my relatively simple base is a huge hit, and the Old Bay amount can be tailored to fit individual tastes. I also liked the idea of visiting Epicurious if you are really afraid to go freestyle; you can often get really great feedback on the recipes there when you read some of the reviews.

Happy cooking!

Deviled eggs are just one of those things that are all about personal preference. Ive found that no recipe pleases us so I do my own thing. I say this because I do not have any specific measurements as you are requesting, lol, sorry. It also varies depending on how tangy or sweet or eggy you like it. My hubby prefers it to be less eggy so I add more Miracle whip for him. I prefer it tangy so I add the vinegar/pickle juice.
But to "spice" it up use Miracle Whip Salad dressing instead of Mayo, that will help all on its own. I also use a bit of mustard, and tiny bit of vinegar or pickle juice. Salt and pepper of course. And my secret killer ingredient: a few dashes of hot sauce.
People also add finely minced pickle or onion.
I sprinkle mine w/ dill instead of paprika.
And I also fill a baggie w/ the filling and snip the end off and fill the eggs that way. Its so easy and looks neat.
Everyone raves over my eggs and I get requests all the time.
Good luck making up your own fav. recipe.
Let us know how they turn out.

Hi, I saw what you said about measurments, but I don't have specific ones. My mom always said that deviled eggs come out better when you're adding things "to taste". Anyways, you obviously know (since you've made deviled eggs before) how to hard boil, peel, split and fill the eggs, so I'll just tell you what I put in with the yolks. Again, this is to taste so you'll just have to play around with it a little bit. Try making 5 HB Eggs and fixing up each yolk differently until you find a combo you like.

Mayo (must be real mayo, no fat free and no miracle whip)
Yellow or Dijon mustard (depends on preferences)
Dill pickle juice (gives a nice little vinegary kick, but not too much, add a little at a time and watch the consistency as you go)
Salt
Pepper
Horseradish or minced garlic (just a little and only if you choose, the purpose of these is to lightly flavor, not kick people in the rear! :)
diced onions (these are actually important, onions contain a substance that actually sensitizes tastebuds and makes the other flavors come alive, you can dice and crush this up so they are very small and difficult to feel, and the substance will still be doing it's work)
Garnish with paprika when egg halves are filled

I use these ingredients regularly and always get rave reviews on my deviled eggs. Actually my 6yo son told me that they're so good, they should be called angeled eggs. :)

Sorry to edit my response right after I sent it, but I forgot to tell you that I use a garlic press to finely mince my onions so they're almost undetectable except as a flavor.

Try visiting www.epicurious.com. Two years ago they did a wholearticle on dviled eggs - everything from sour cream and chivs to wasabi. Just do a recipe search and find the ones with the highest fork rating. There were some rally different ones I tried that were fantastic.

This is best w/18 eggs!
boil eggs, slice lengthwise in half. Remove yolks and place in a bowl. Mash until fine (I use a pastry blender). Salt and Pepper it all over the mashed yolk. Add 1T apple cider vinegar, 1/4 cup granulated sugar and 2+ tbsp Miracle Whip...(you don't want it to be too runny so start low on Miracle whip and add as needed)! Mix together (add more miracle whip after you mix if you need it).
refill egg whites and top w/a sprinkle of paprika!

NEVER HAD ANYONE NOT LIKE THEM!

My children love Deviled Eggs so heres what I do With the yoke I mix miricale whip Ms. Dash(table blend, green top), paprika, a very little mustard, sweet pickle relish, and a pinch of salt. For those who like bacon sometimes i add baacon bits. Hope your family loves them as mine does!

The recipe I use is from the Better Homes & Garden New Cookbook I inherited from my grandmother-in-law:
for 6 eggs use 1/4 c. mayo, 1 tsp vinegar, 1 tsp prepared mustard, 1/8 tsp salt, dash pepper.
Once, I used powdered mustard by mistake, then added the regular mustard, and I actually prefer it that way. Adds a little kick.
The same cookbook also has a recipe for 5 eggs with 2 Tbsp mayo, 2 tsp vinegar, 1 tsp mustard, salt and pepper to taste. I can't remember which I use more frequently. I know you like precise recipes, but this one is pretty flexible...
enjoy!
I tried to increase my protein during my 2 pregnancies, and would keep a tray of these in the fridge for when I needed a protein fix and didn't feel up to preparing anything.

A SUPER easy deviled egg recipe is just mayo, relish, and mustard. I boil about a dozen - 2 dozen eggs, peel them, cut in half, scoop out the egg yolk and mix it with the other ingredients - mustard, relish, and mayo. You can add as much or as little as you want - probably for a dozen eggs, I would do a cup of mayo, 2 TBSP mustard, and 2 TBSP relish...or more if you like it. You really can't mess it up. Then I scoop a teaspoon or 2 in the halved egg whites and sprinkle paprika on top for a pretty red treat. :)

I make mine with fresh garlic (one clove), dill (fresh is better, about a quarter teaspoon and parsley ( about the same as the dill) mayo (about a 1/2 cup) and a small squirt of yellow mustard (about a 1/2 teaspoon) as you can tell, I don't measure much :) but I tried to estimate for you. Top with a sprinkle of paprika. Everyone loves my deviled eggs, even my kids.
