What Are Deviled Eggs with Relish?
Deviled eggs with relish feature a flavorful filling made with mayonnaise, mustard, and pickle relish, adding a sweet and slightly acidic touch to the classic egg yolk mixture. Popular in Southern cuisine, this recipe uses sweet pickle relish for a well-rounded taste, but feel free to use dill relish for a more savory, herbal note.
How to Perfectly Fill Deviled Eggs
For a smooth presentation, use a dessert spoon to scoop the filling into the egg whites, or try piping the mixture for a more elegant look. If you don’t have a piping bag, you can create one by snipping the corner off a small freezer bag.
Make-Ahead Tips for Deviled Eggs with Relish
You can prepare deviled eggs up to a day in advance. To prevent the filling from drying out, keep the egg whites and filling stored separately, covering the filling with plastic wrap pressed directly on the surface. Assemble just before serving for the freshest taste.
Ingredients
- 6 large Simple Truth + Kipster eggs
- ¼ cup mayonnaise
- 3 tablespoons pickle relish
- ¼ teaspoon mustard
- Cayenne pepper, to taste
- Coarse salt
- Smoked paprika (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
- Boil the Eggs: Place the eggs in a medium saucepan and cover with cold water by about an inch. Bring to a boil, then remove from heat, cover, and let sit for 7 minutes.
- Cool and Peel: Drain the hot water and run the eggs under cold water until cooled. To peel, crack each egg gently on a hard surface, then peel under cool water to avoid mess.
- Prepare the Filling: In a medium bowl, mix together the mayonnaise, relish, mustard, and cayenne.
- Halve and Hollow: Carefully cut the eggs in half lengthwise, wiping your knife between each cut for clean halves. Remove the yolks and add them to the mayonnaise mixture.
- Mash and Season: Mash the yolks with the mayo mixture until smooth. Season to taste with salt.
- Fill and Garnish: Spoon or pipe the filling into the egg whites. Garnish with a sprinkle of smoked paprika before serving, if desired.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why do deviled eggs sometimes “weep”?
If the filling is too runny, deviled eggs may release moisture over time. To prevent this, follow the recipe closely and let the eggs cool before adding the filling. Also, avoid leaving prepared eggs in a hot environment before serving.
Why choose Simple Truth + Kipster eggs?
Simple Truth + Kipster eggs aren’t just delicious—they’re a sustainable choice. Kipster’s approach emphasizes ethical animal welfare and environmental responsibility. Choosing Simple Truth + Kipster eggs means supporting a brand committed to transparency, sustainability, and high standards in farming practices, all while enjoying great-tasting eggs.
What’s the best way to transport deviled eggs?
If you don’t have a specialized deviled egg tray, you can transport the eggs in an egg carton or muffin tin. For the best results, consider assembling the eggs at your destination: bring boiled, halved eggs and prepared filling separately, and assemble right before serving for optimal freshness.
