Tips to Make Deviled Eggs with Relish

Timing is key: Don’t forget the ice bath! It prevents that greenish-gray ring around the yolk.

FAQs

1. Can I make deviled eggs ahead of time?
Absolutely! Assemble the eggs but wait to sprinkle on the paprika until just before serving for that fresh look.

2. How can I tell if my eggs are fresh?
A good trick is to place them in water. Fresh eggs sink; older eggs float.

3. What’s the best way to peel hard-boiled eggs?
After the ice bath, gently tap the eggs and roll them on the counter. The shells will come off way easier!
