Southern Deviled Eggs Recipe
Southern Deviled Eggs are a classic appetizer featuring halved hard-boiled eggs filled with a smooth blend of mashed yolks, mayonnaise, sweet pickle relish, mustard, and salt. The filling is piped or spooned into the whites, then topped with a sprinkling of paprika or finely minced chives for garnish. The recipe yields creamy, mildly tangy eggs with a subtle sweetness and a soft texture, typical of Southern-style deviled eggs.
Ingredients
- 12 egg peeled, hard-boiled
- 3 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon pickle relish strain out excess juice, sweet
- 1 tablespoon mustard
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- paprika or finely minced chives for garnish
Instructions
- Cut the peeled hard-boiled eggs in half lengthwise. Remove the eggs yolks and placing them in a bowl. Set eggs white halves aside.
- In the bowl with the egg yolks add mayonnaise, sweet pickle relish, mustard, and salt. Mash together with a spoon or fork until smooth and well combined. If you want extra smooth, creamy eggs you can use an immersion blender to blend the mixture.

- Sprinkle the top of the filling with a tiny bit of sweet paprika and/or chives and serve.
