About this recipe

Deviled eggs are a piping dish. The filling should be smooth enough to hold a swirl, and the herbs should sit on top where you can see them.

The green in this version comes from herbs blended into the yolk, plus more herbs on top.

Why this recipe works

  • An ice bath peels the eggs cleanly.
  • A soft filling pipes instead of crumbling.
  • Herbs make a plain egg taste fresh.

What you’ll need

  • 6 eggs
  • 3 tablespoons mayonnaise
  • 1 teaspoon mustard
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • + 2 more ingredients and 5 steps…

Variations

  • Leave the filling yellow and top with paprika instead.
  • Add a few capers on top.

How to serve

Arrange in a single layer so the swirls show. They are a starter, not a main.

Storage and reheating

Keep leftovers covered in the fridge for up to 3 days. Fried sides lose their crunch in the fridge, so reheat them on a rack in a 400°F oven or an air fryer for a few minutes. Baked dishes reheat well covered with foil at 350°F.
