3 different topping choices for deviled eggs? I would choose pickled jalapenos, smoked paprika, and I’d like to try sumac because it sounds good. Or maybe candied jalapenos. :)

Either toppings or mixed into the yellow part of the egg.

I mix crisp cooked bacon, mayo and cayenne into mine. They are popular.

I Honestly can't think of 2 more I would like.

Sumac is delightful.

• Standard slightly oniony filling is great with a curl of smoked salmon on top.
• Yolk mixed with nutmeg or tarragon is good with ripe pear.
• Honey (just a bit) and pepper filling with chopped pistachios.
• Substitute baba ganouj for the egg yolk and top with scallion greens or chives
• Cherry peppers and toasted pine nuts

I do not like crunchy pretzel crumbs on eggs, but you might.

Some people like to make more of chicken salad filling with mayonnaise made from the hard cooked yolks. I haven't made it, but it looks good, if old fashioned.

I have tasted shrimp deviled eggs made with the tiny salad shrimp and was very impressed how positively the flavor came through.

My mother used to mix the yolks with sardines. I remember them being tasty but perhaps many people wouldn't like the smell of sardines. Do you eat them in the US?

I had never eaten a devilled egg but I tried to make some after reading about them here. I found it impossible to get the egg yolk in the centre of the white. What's the trick? They were all wonky and some were so close to the edge I couldn't stuff them. But I ate them anyway. Not a fan. I just don't like hard boiled eggs however they're prepared.

Ps love sardines. Quick, cheap and hugely nutritious.

Since you don't like them, it doesn't matter. I rarely have an off center egg, but the two common method are turn the eggs on their sides for a day, or stir the eggs vigorously in the boiling water.

OK. Thanks. I'll try that if I ever need to hard boil an egg for halving again.

Thanks everyone. I added to my post how I make my deviled eggs.

I like the shrimp, bacon, and jalapeño ideas.

Floral, I like sardines, but no one else.

I saw your recipe and I wouldn't call eggs made with pickle relish "plain".

Plainest I make. If I want just a boiled egg, it is just that, three minute or hardboiled, with nothing else. I peel and add salt and pepper as I eat.

My grands made 19 at a time in their Insta pot and devoured them as needed to stave off hunger pains until Dad got home to make supper, lol.

Deviled is mayo, mustard, and pickle relish.

I think I will go with my plain, mine plus bacon&jalepeno and mine plus shrimp (and maybe bacon). I love bacon.

If I make more of what everyone likes, my plain, then only one tray each of the others that should work.

I will enjoy all the leftovers for breakfast anyway.

Thanks!

“…turn the eggs on their sides for a day…”

That actually helps but I usually forget to do it. You put a rubber band around the carton of eggs, then set it on its side in the refrigerator for 24 hours before boiling.

Sherry, I think you need to delete the sweet relish if you are going to add in other things.

I like sardines and so does my brother. We definitely eat them in the U.S., and I use the fairly frequently. The ones I get come from Spain, however.

I agree with Bbstx about the sweet relish - I would serve that on the side, if someone wanted it.

love them with a bit of wasabi or horseradish ... not for everyone, but at least I get my fair share.

Now, I would serve the wasabi or horseradish on the side! Maybe also the hot sauces.

Sometimes I add a little bit of Madras curry powder to the mayonnaise when I mix it with the yolks for deviled eggs. I do not like sweet relish in them. I have also mixed finely chopped lox into the mayonnaise when I mix it with the yolks. I garnish it with dill and chopped capers. They are also delicious topped with red fish roe/caviar - inexpensive in a glass jar - and some chopped chives.

I have never understood the appeal of deviled eggs. How can people just pop these into their mouth like that? Imagining them with some kind of fishy something in them almost brings up a gag relfex.

I will make a couple for dinner with cornbread and beans. It is something from my childhood, but that is the only time. I will have no more than one half of an egg, at that.

I know folks like and dislike all manner of things. but I just dont get it

I just get completely repulsed by milk, eggs and fish. No ice cream, deviled eggs or salmon for me, with a few occassional expceptions , but never away from my own home kitchen. I could manage to politely eat some manner of fish if I had to. But I would never be able to get milk anywhere near my face . I would physically fight anyone trying to make me touch it. Dont think that I could abide with anything fishy unless it was breaded, fried and covered in hot sauce and ketchup to where it did not matter much what it was.

Yeah I know.... no one cares if I like it or not but I feel better ranting about it.

Claudia, if I am making deviled eggs and want a full egg dish, I have to be sure to make extra, because I will eat three or four halves while stuffing them. I also love them for breakfast the next day.

Sherry, please stop telling me about it!

Just kidding, of course if you like them, so be it.

My family teases me about my abhorrence of milk and they all find ways to make a joke of it.

I do make meals based on eggs for the two us, now . But, I would never eat anything of eggs out somewhere like a restaurant or party or anywhere. I would never elect to go to brunch or breakfast out. All I could ever get is toast. Milk, eggs and fish. I tell my family that, if I get old and need help eating and anyone tries to make me put this into my mouth, I will fight them tooth and nail! Horrors!

My hubby is such a fan of deviled eggs, I bought him a book of 150 DE recipes, a DE plate and a frosting dispenser! LOL. Also, we steam our eggs for 13-15 minutes, then plunge in ice water for at least 5 minutes and almost never have troubles with peeling!
