The Best Deviled Egg Recipes + Cooking Tips For The Most Egg-cellent Results

Plus, deviled eggs are having a moment right now. Nelson Serrano-Bahri, professional chef and Director of Innovation for the American Egg Board, attributes the popularity of deviled egg recipes to straight-up nostalgia.

“Just like fashion, food comes back. There are certain things that we grow up with that make us go back to our childhood, and it makes us feel good,” he said. “I feel that deviled eggs are that – they're part of Americana comfort food.”

But just because they’re a nostalgic snack doesn’t mean you have to stick to the antiquated ways of making deviled egg recipes. Serrano-Bahri noted that making deviled eggs has really become a lot easier through the years, because now, you can buy ready-made boiled eggs (among other ingredients) from the grocery store.

“Before, your grandma was boiling the eggs and having to peel them and they had to be perfect,” he said. “Now, you can achieve that with a little bit of like speed-scratch techniques that you come up with at home, or that an influencer is teaching you.”
