Deviled Eggs

bowlicious · ‎03-10-2010

How long ahead can I make deviled eggs and still have them taste fresh? I know they keep for several days but want them fresh tasting for Easter dinner. TIA

I have only ventured one day ahead and they were fine.

I would be afraid to fix them more than one day ahead. I love deviled eggs and frequently make them for family dinners.

I make them the same day I will serve them. IMO, they are best served freshly prepared. Any leftovers I toss the next day.

I boil the eggs the night before, cool them down, put them in the fridge in a bowl and chill them overnight. I make them up early in the morning and then chill them again until ready to be eaten. I like them fresh - to me, they taste best.

Anybody else besides me add a little horseradish to the mayo/mustard yolk filling? Puts the devil into deviled eggs.

I LOVE deviled eggs!

I love horseradish in almost everything! Yes!

I don't use prepared mustard, I use the mustard powder to keep the yolk mixture from being too wet. I like the yolk of my deviled egg to be on the firm side.

Excellent point! I always drain the horseradish as dry as I can get it before adding it to the yolks!

@violann No, but that's a great suggestion! Thanks!

I've made them 2 days ahead and they didn't taste as fresh as 1 day ahead (or freshly made) I wouldn't do more than 1 day now...
