Best Ever Deviled Eggs

I still say that food is history, and Spicy Jalapeno Bacon Deviled Eggs, which date back to the Roman Empire, are no exception. Deviled eggs are made in a variety of ways in various countries all over the world. They’re known as ‘Russian Eggs’ in Belgium, Germany, the Netherlands, and France.
I’ve been meaning to post a simple deviled egg recipe here on the blog for years. And I’ve still (accidentally) (whoops) spaced it off for years. With Easter just around the corner, I thought today would be the perfect time to share my tried-and-true, classic-with-a-few-modern-tweaks, always-always-a-crowd favorite recipe for the best-deviled eggs with you!

Cheesy Deviled Eggs

I’m reminded of those incredibly beautiful and intricately painted Russian Faberge eggs, but these Russian eggs just sit on your shelves collecting dust!

They’re super simple to make (and I’ve included tips for prepping them days ahead of time if you want). If you’re not a mayo lover like me, you can lighten them up by substituting Greek yogurt for the mayo. I also like to add a squeeze of fresh lemon juice to mine instead of vinegar, which brightens them up a little. But, above all, I adore this deviled egg recipe because these little guys are simply irresistible. When I serve them for Easter dinner or a springtime brunch, they always vanish quickly, and people always wonder what’s in them to make them so light and tasty.

Deviled Eggs with Pimento Cheese

There’s really no limit to what you can create with deviled eggs. The only limit is your imagination. So, if you want capers, pineapple jack pimento cheese, anchovies, artichokes, basil, bacon, cumin, carrots, dates, dijon, whatever, then throw it in!

The egg whites and filling mixture can be made up to 3 days ahead of time and stored separately in tightly sealed containers until ready to assemble and serve.
