From the time I was little every family gathering we had my grandma would make her famous deviled egg with relish recipe. I would look forward to it every single time. I have had many deviled eggs in my life but hers were special. Awhile back I asked her about what made them so good. She told me about her secret ingredient, relish juice and gave me her special recipe.

My grandma passed away last year. She was the matriarch of the family and her passing has been really hard, I miss her so much. I am so grateful for her and I can’t imagine what my life would have been like without her in it.

The holidays are great but it can be a little hard some times being so far away from my family. I moved away from my home town awhile ago and if I can’t make it home for the holidays I always make my grandma’s deviled eggs for any kind of celebration. It helps bring home a little closer.

Deviled Eggs with Relish Recipe

Topping these deviled eggs with McCormick® paprika gives them a classic look and a lot of flavor, just like how my grandma would make them. Again she used pickle juice as her secret ingredient, it gives the eggs more flavor and keeps them moist without too much mayo, it is so good. I have also made them with both sweet relish and dill relish with great results.

Ingredients

  • 8 large eggs
  • 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons sweet or dill pickle relish
  • 2 teaspoons pickle juice
  • 1 teaspoon yellow mustard
  • 1/4 teaspoon McCormick® Sea Salt Grinder
  • 1/4 teaspoon McCormick® Garlic Powder
  • Dash of McCormick® Ground Black Pepper
  • Garnish: McCormick® Paprika

Directions

Boil, steam or pressure cook your eggs. I made my eggs in my pressure cooker, this is my favorite way to make hard boiled eggs as they peel so easily. To make them add 1 cup of water to your pressure cooker, place your eggs in a steaming basket and cook on low pressure for 12 minutes. NPR (natural pressure release) for 6 minutes and then let out the remaining steam. Place in an ice water bath for 5 minutes before peeling.

Slice your eggs in half lengthwise and remove the yolks carefully. Place yolks into small mixing bowl and add the remaining ingredients, except the paprika. Smash everything together and then mix until well blended.

How many days ahead can you make devilled eggs? ›

At a minimum, you'll need to allow for 20 to 25 minutes of chill time before serving. You can make deviled eggs up to 2 days in advance; be sure to store the egg whites and the yolk filling separately.

How long can you keep devilled eggs in the fridge? ›

Once prepared, deviled eggs should be stored in the refrigerator immediately. They should be consumed within three to four days, which is generally considered the maximum amount of time deviled eggs remain safe to eat when stored in the refrigerator.

How do you display deviled eggs for a party? ›

You can use any glass or metal pan or large ceramic platter. Line the bottom with large lettuce leaves and place the deviled eggs on top. The glass or metal pan might work better, because you can then cover them with a tight sheet of plastic wrap without the plastic wrap touching the eggs.

How to keep deviled eggs from getting watery? ›

If you won't be eating them right away, place into a container lined with folded paper towels and refrigerate. It's common for deviled eggs to "sweat" in the fridge, which can make them kinda soggy in a day or two. The paper towels will absorb the extra moisture and keep them fresh much longer!

How long can eggs be out of the fridge before going bad? ›

According to the American Egg Board, you can leave eggs on the counter about 2 hours at room temperature (or 1 hour if the temperature is 90°F or hotter). After 2 hours, you'd be safer to throw those eggs out and get a fresh dozen rather than chance it.

Can eggs be peeled ahead of time for deviled eggs? ›

You can even peel them ahead of time! Store the peeled eggs in an airtight container in the fridge. Assemble the deviled eggs a few hours ahead. I like these deviled eggs best on the day they're made.

What can I put in the middle of my deviled egg tray? ›

Well, deviled egg trays aren't just for deviled (or soft-boiled) eggs. The little oval depressions are perfect for holding any small, roundish finger foods that could benefit from some stability or separation on the platter. I've used mine for stuffed dates, stuffed mushrooms, and meatballs.

What pairs well with deviled eggs? ›

It pairs well with crunchy fresh veggies, pretzels, crackers, or toasted pita or naan for dipping. It also works great as a spread on crackers or toast. My five-year-old daughter who loves deviled eggs has been dipping everything in it, though she asked me to make it without the “green things” (chives) next time.

How do you pack hard-boiled eggs for a road trip? ›

1) Use a clean, well-insulated cooler and add plenty of ice, ice packs, frozen bottled water, or frozen food. Cooked eggs and other perishable foods need to be kept below 40°F. Bacteria can quickly grow at the temperature danger zone between 40°F and 140°F.

How can we avoid breaking eggs during packing and transporting? ›

“All designed in such a way that they give the egg in question a conformable and protective position.” Egg trays should be designed to fit safely and securely into the truck. A protector placed over the top can help minimize bouncing, especially when eggs are transported on bumpy or uneven roads.

How do you travel with eggs without cracking them? ›

Pack them into a soft pine shaving or straw bedding inside a box beneath, around and above with space in between each egg for extra bedding to fall into place.
