The Best Way to Make Hardboiled Eggs
Over the years, I’ve tried many different ways to hard-boil eggs. Some recipe will tell you to start eggs in cold water, add vinegar to the water, or even pierce the eggshells with a pin. But my favorite way to hard-boil eggs — hands down — is in an Instant Pot. If you have an Instant Pot and want to learn the method for perfect hard-boiled eggs, check out this post: Instant Pot Boiled Eggs. You’ll get easy-to-peel eggs with tender whites and creamy yolks, every time.
If you don’t have an Instant Pot yet, you can also make great, easy-to-peel, hard-boiled eggs on the stove. I like to use the hot-start method to make stovetop hard-boiled eggs. To do this, you’ll first bring a large pot of water up to a rolling boil on high heat. Then, once the water is boiling, add the eggs. I like to do this with tongs or a slotted spoon to avoid any splashing water. Simmer the eggs for 12 minutes, and after they have cooked, take the pot off the heat and immediately transfer the eggs to an ice bath.
Either of these two methods will give you easy-to-peel the eggs. Now, you’re ready to start making Deviled Eggs.
Ingredients for Keto Deviled Eggs
This recipe starts off with, you guessed it, hard-boiled eggs. To make the filling, you’ll need a few more ingredients:
- mayonnaise
- mustard (I like Dijon)
- a little bit of garlic powder
- salt and pepper
- optional toppings: For classic deviled eggs, top with a little sprinkle of smoked paprika.
And that’s all you’ll need! If you’re serving these for a party, you may want to garnish them with some parsley or fresh chives, too!
How to Make Deviled Eggs
These keto deviled eggs are a simple recipe, even though they might look fancy. They’re so easy to whip up.
To start, slice the hard-boiled eggs in half lengthwise, and scoop the yolks out into a small bowl. Mash the yolk thoroughly with a fork, then stir in the mayo, Dijon, garlic powder, salt and pepper until completely combined.
If you would like a super-smooth filling, you can also combine these ingredients in a food processor for a few seconds instead of mashing everything by hand.
After the yolk filling is prepared, fill the egg white halves. Using either a spoon, a small cookie scoop, or a piping bag, fill the egg whites with the yolk mixture.
To serve, garnish the top of each egg with your desired toppings. Served slightly chilled.
Storing Keto Deviled Eggs
Freshly filled deviled eggs are best — but you can definitely prep the hard-boiled eggs ahead of time for a party.
Unpeeled hard-boiled eggs, still in the shell, can be refrigerated for up to a week. If they’re peeled, you want to use them in a couple of days.
Another way to prep these Keto Deviled Eggs is to prepare the egg whites and filling mixture and refrigerate each separately in tightly-sealed containers until ready to assemble and serve.
Here’s an important food safety note: Deviled eggs should only be stored a maximum of 2 hours at room temperature.
