Best Deviled Eggs

Published


  • Ina Garten: This recipe was the most different from the bunch. It uses a small amount of mayonnaise, relying on cream cheese and sour cream for creaminess. The eggs also feature two forms of salmon: chopped smoked salmon in the filling, and salmon roe as a garnish.
  • Oprah Winfrey: The filling for these eggs has a lot of flavor boosters: mustard, sweet pickles, horseradish sauce, and Tabasco. Most of these ingredients are in tiny amounts, but the recipe calls for a noticeably large dollop of mustard. 
  • Carla Hall: The recipe itself is pretty straightforward with mayo, Dijon, and a hint of cayenne pepper in the filling. However, two ingredients piqued my interest: the cider vinegar in the filling, and the bacon sprinkled on top.
  • Dolly Parton: With one of the shortest ingredient lists, this recipe has mayo, Dijon mustard, Tabasco sauce, and salt in the filling and is finished with a sprinkle of chives and paprika. 
  • Melissa Clark: With smoked paprika, tomato paste, and red wine vinegar, this deviled egg visually stands out. 
  • Sunny Anderson: Into the mix of egg yolks, mayonnaise, and Dijon, this recipe adds lemon zest and pickled jalapeños. Crumbled fried onions serve as a unique finishing touch.
