Ingredients

Here's a look at the simple ingredients you need to have to make the best-deviled eggs with pickle juice and pickles!

• Eggs: Large eggs work best. Be sure to check that they don't have any small cracks as they may boil up a bit strange.
• Mayonnaise: Gives the filling its creamy texture.
• Dill pickles: Chop dill pickles are mixed into the filling and used for garnish. You can also use dill pickle relish if you want to skip the chopping.
• Yellow mustard: Gives the egg filling a nice tang of flavor that melds perfectly with the dill pickles.
• Pickle juice: This enhances the dill pickle flavor and adds a tangy flavor. You can get similar results with white vinegar.
• Fresh dill: This adds a nice fresh flavor to the eggs but you can leave it out if you prefer a milder taste or don't have it on hand.
• Paprika: We're adding this at the end as a garnish. It adds a subtle smokiness and a pop of color for a lovely presentation.
• Toppings: Extra pickle slicesand some fresh dill along with paprika really make them look fancy.

Variations

• Sweet Pickles: For a different flavor profile use chopped sweet pickles or bread and butter pickles instead.
• Spicy: If you like things spicy you can add a pinch or two of cayenne pepper to the filling.
• Zestier Flavor: Swap the yellow mustard for the more complex flavors and zing of Dijon mustard.

How to Make Dill Pickle Deviled Eggs

Gather up all your ingredients and let's get started! This dish goes together in just a few minutes and a handful of steps.

Step 1: How to Boil Eggs for Deviled Eggs

It all starts with the boiled eggs! Here's the foolproof method I recommend for making perfect hard-boiled eggs.

1. Fill the bottom of a pan with about 1-2 inches of water. You need just enough to steam the eggs. Bring the water to a boil.
2. Gently lower the eggs into the boiling water or place them in a steaming basket. Cover the pan with a lid. Lower the temperature to low heat and cook the eggs for 11 minutes.
3. Remove the eggs from the water and test it. Once your eggs are done to your desired consistency, shock the eggs in an ice bath.
4. Allow the eggs to cool all the way down before peeling. Once they're cool, peel them under cool running water.

Step 2: Prep the Eggs and Make the Filling

1. Slice the eggs in half and remove the yolk from both sides of the egg halves.
2. Place the yolks in a small bowl and set the egg whites aside. Use a fork to break up the egg yolks.

3. Add the mayonnaise, minced pickles, mustard, pickle juice, fresh dill, salt and pepper to the bowl of egg yolks.
4. Mix together well using a fork, spoon, or electric mixer on low until the mixture is well mixed and creamy.

Step 3: Filling the Eggs

1. Fill each egg white half with the yolk mixture using a pastry bag and round tip.
2. Garnish each egg with pickle slices, fresh dill, and paprika.

Storage Tips

• Storing: Store any leftover deviled eggs in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. I highly recommend adding fresh garnishes before serving them again. It will look better and feel more fresh. It's not recommended to freeze deviled eggs.
• Make Ahead: If you want to make them ahead you can definitely get a head start by boiling and peeling the eggs in advance. I recommend waiting to mix up the filling and assemble them closer to the serving time for the best texture.

Serving Ideas

These pickled deviled eggs make a great addition to parties, brunches, picnics, and so much more. It's a popular appetizer that many people enjoy and you will love how easy they are to make.

• Planning a Brunch Party? Enjoy them with some triple chocolate muffins, strawberry pancakes, and this cheesecake salad! Don't forget the mimosas! You can choose from guava mimosas, pink grapefruit mimosas, or green mimosas!
• Parties, Game Day, and More! Serve them with other party appetizers such as a cold shrimp dip, slow cooker jalapeno popper dip, and air fryer chicken wings!

Expert Tips

• Don't Skip the Ice Bath. Shocking the eggs for five minutes in an ice bath helps the eggs cool more quickly and also makes them easier to peel.
• No Pastry Bag? You can easily make one with a Ziploc bag. Simply cut off a small corner and use it to pipe your filling into the egg halves. While it won't be as pretty you can also simply scoop it using a spoon or a small scoop.
• Tip for Transporting Deviled Eggs. Place the eggs into an airtight container that tightly fits the eggs so they won't roll or slide around. Take the garnishes on the side and quickly add the garnish on site.
