Southern Style Deviled Eggs Recipes

MOM'S CLASSIC SOUTHERN DEVILED EGGS

Steps:

• Place eggs in the bottom of a large pot and cover with cold water.
• Bring water to a boil over high heat. Turn off heat, cover the pan and let the eggs sit for 20 minutes.
• Drain the eggs and rinse them with cold water. (Alternatively you can do baked hard boiled eggs in the oven or make Instant Pot hard boiled eggs if you prefer.)
• Peel the cooled eggs then cut in half lengthwise. Scoop out the yellow yolks and place them in a small bowl. Plate egg white halves on serving plate.
• Use a fork to mash the egg yolks. Add the remaining ingredients and mix well. Season the mixture to taste with extra salt and pepper as needed.
• Fill each egg half with the yolk mixture, mounding it up a little. Sprinkle with any desired toppings and serve.

DELICIOUS SOUTHERN STYLE DEVILED EGGS

Steps:

• Hard boil eggs. I place the eggs in cold water in a pot, bring it to a boil and continue to boil for 2 minutes. Then I remove from heat and cover for 7 minutes. Rinse under cool running water to keep the yolk from turning dark. Tap the eggs to make peeling easier, and peel them while they are still warm. Cut them in half lengthwise, placing the yolk in a separate bowl.
• Place the egg yolks, mayonnaise, mustard, pickle relish, apple cider vinegar, onion, and cayenne, salt and pepper to taste in a bowl. Mix well.
• Spoon the yolk mixture into the egg-white halves neatly, filling the inside. Sprinkle the top with the paprika for color.
