Question About Deviled Eggs

beach-mom — Tue, 22 Oct 2024 03:05:04 GMT

Can I make them tonight and let them sit overnight?

I've usually made them right before I take them somewhere or serve them.

I will have the eggs cooked and in the refrigerator. Just wondering if I can put the filling in tonight and refrigerate them overnight, or if I should get up early and make the filling. TIA!

Yes! Some folks say they taste better when they've had a little time to sit. I love deviled eggs!

You can make the filling, put it in a zip lock bag, seal and refrigerate, then in the morning cut off one of the bottom corners and use it like a pastry bag to fill the eggs!

I think the eggs will be fine overnight since they'll be refrigerated.

Yes, you can make them the night before. I make deviled eggs every Thanksgiving and Christmas and I make them the night before each holiday. I even put them in the fridge after the dinner for the next day.

@beach-mom You absolutely can leave deviled eggs in the fridge overnight 🤗🙌💯. I think that deviled eggs taste even better after 2 or 3 days in the fridge- if they even last that long without being eaten 😉. Deviled eggs are delicious.

Refrigerated overnight, they'll be fine, but make sure your storage container has a good seal or the filling will darken and dry out some.

I always make my deviled eggs the day before a party. I have a deviled egg tray with a lid and they are always perfect.

@beach-mom Sure can especially if by some freakish chance there could be a leftover or four, they're still great the next day.

GMTA, @Sooner. This is how I fill my deviled eggs, too. but done on the same day and refrigerating the completed product. When making the hard cooked eggs, to begin with, I usually make one or two extras so I can have extra yolks. DH or I will snack on the whites.

@beach-mom, to expand on this it will be helpful if you line the bottom of the container with a paper towel to absorb any condensation that may develop.

I always do that with my hard cooked eggs and it makes a big difference.

I keep mine simple--mayo, mustard, salt, white pepper, cayenne and smoked paprika. That is the family preference.

I do sometimes add either finely minced jalapeno to the yolk mixture or sliver jalapeno and place it in the white then fill with the yolk mixture.

I make mine similar to yours, but with sweet pickle relish (along with the juice) - We like ours a little on the sweet side.

Mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, red wine vinegar, and a dash of Worcestershire sauce. Paprika sprinkled on top.

Thanks everyone! I learned a lot about make-ahead deviled eggs!

In the end I ran out of time last night and got up very early this morning to peel them and make the filling.

But now, thanks to you, I feel comfortable about making them ahead.

The theme was Harvest, and they were a hit! I adapted a recipe for Thanksgiving deviled eggs I found online from "Delicious Table " and made 24 (doubling the recipe).

Here is the original recipe, for 6 hard boiled eggs:

6 Hard boiled eggs

Filling:

2 Tbsp. mayonnaise (I used Duke's)

1 Tbsp. Dijon mustard

1 Tbsp. fresh lemon juice

1 Tbsp. crème fraiche or substitute soft cream cheese or sour cream (I used soft cream cheese)

2 Tbsp. smoked paprika - don't use the hot one!
1/2 tsp. sea salt

1/2 ground pepper

Garnish: sprigs of fresh sage or fresh thyme (I didn't use these)

ETA: The filling will be light to medium brown in color. You could tweak it with food coloring, but I left it alone.

@beach-mom

Many have deviled eggs at parties, but I make them about once a month, trying various ingredients.

Deviled eggs are a great high protein snack, and are fun to make.

Kept tightly sealed, they are good for 3 or 4 days .... if they last that long.
