Red, White, and Blue Deviled Eggs

July 5, 2024

These colorful and festive Red, White, and Blue Deviled Eggs are a delightful twist on a classic appetizer. Perfect for any patriotic celebration, these deviled eggs are sure to impress your guests.

Deviled eggs are the ultimate crowd-pleaser, simple to make, incredibly tasty, and always the first to disappear at any party or picnic. With their creamy filling and hint of tangy spice, these bite-sized treats have stood the test of time as a go-to appetizer for everything from family holidays to backyard barbecues.

The base of this classic dish starts with hard-boiled eggs, carefully halved and scooped to make room for a rich, flavorful filling. The yolks are mashed until smooth, then blended with a few simple ingredients: mayonnaise for creaminess, mustard for a zesty bite, and a splash of vinegar or lemon juice for brightness. Salt and pepper are essential, and a touch of paprika adds both color and subtle warmth.

What makes deviled eggs truly special is their versatility. You can stick with the traditional preparation or get creative with mix-ins like chopped pickles, fresh herbs, or a dash of hot sauce. Garnishing with a sprinkle of smoked paprika, chives, or even crispy bacon crumbles can take them to the next level and add a little visual flair.

Despite their elegant appearance, deviled eggs come together quickly and easily, especially if you prep the eggs in advance. They’re best served chilled, making them a refreshing appetizer option, especially in warmer months. Use a piping bag or a small spoon to neatly fill the egg whites for a polished look that’s sure to impress guests.

Whether you’re making them for a formal event or just craving a nostalgic snack, deviled eggs offer the perfect bite, creamy, savory, and satisfyingly simple. They’re proof that sometimes, the classics really are the best.

    Just made these for 4th July. Super festive! 🥳

    👎 too much mayo for my taste, doesn’t feel healthy

    1. User avatar kyle.cronin28 says:

      I think the mayo is what gives it the creaminess! But I get it if you’re not a fan. Maybe reduce it next time?

    I had no chives, so I used parsley. Close enough, right?

    1. User avatar mike.padberg80 says:

      2 stars
      Huh, I thought herbs were kinda specific. Parsley isn’t the same at all, right?

    2. 4 stars
      Parsley works, but chives give it the right flavor! Next time maybe try to find some?

    Delish! The paprika on top really makes them pop! 🌶️

    Red, white and BLUE? That’s unpatriotic for sure! Shoulda stuck to classic colors!

    These eggs are super cute for the 4th of July! I love how colorful they are. Can’t wait to try! 🌟

    How long do you cook the eggs again? I always forget, but the recipe is easy otherwise!

    1. 3 stars
      I always forget too! But isn’t it like 12 minutes or something? I dunno, I’m not great with times.

      It’s 15 min total! Boil for 1 min, then let sit covered for 14. Super simple! 😄

    I dunno, coloring the egg whites seems a bit too much. Can’t we just use regular eggs?

  11. User avatar ethan.murphy14 says:

    Tried to make these but the eggs turned out hard. Maybe I boiled them too long?

  12. User avatar joe.jacobson50 says:

    What? You dye egg whites? Seems kinda strange, but ok. Do they taste the same??

  13. 5 stars
    Wow, this looks amazing! The addition of mayo and vinegar is so different from how my Mom taught me. I’ll give it a shot!

    1. 3 stars
      I think mayo is kinda weird in deviled eggs. My mom used just mustard and a bit of salt. But hey, let us know how it turns out!

    2. User avatar martin.macgyver says:

      This is very creative! I never tried adding vinegar. Can’t wait to see how it tastes, thanks for sharing!

    Is it really necessary to add food coloring? Seems kinda gross to me.

  15. User avatar fairy.thiel says:

    Not sure if deviled eggs should be bright colors… Are you sure about this?

  16. 4 stars
    I skipped the chives and still tasted good! Will make again.

    1. User avatar Carlos Rosenbaum says:

      Glad to hear it turned out well, even without the chives! It’s always great when a recipe is flexible. 🌟

      No chives? Really? I thought they were essential for flavor! Might try without them, but I’m skeptical.

  17. User avatar glenda.anderson39 says:

    3 stars
    I really liked the flavor but the food coloring kinda weirded me out. Not sure if I’ll make again. 😕

  18. 4 stars
    Great idea! My kids loved helping with the coloring. Made it fun and tasty! 👍

  19. User avatar Dwarven Shpere says:

    I messed up the cooking time and got mushy eggs. Ugh, not fun.

  20. 3 stars
    I tried making these, but I forgot the chives. Still, they tasted good! Maybe just a lil too complicated for my skill level.

    1. User avatar florencio.franecki85 says:

      5 stars
      No chives? No problem! I actually think they still look great without them. Keep practicing, you’ll get better at it! 😄

    I did not have red food coloring, so I used ketchup instead. It was weird but tasty.

    What’s the point of adding food coloring? Makes it look plastic.

  25. 2 stars
    I thought these were just regular deviled eggs but with food coloring? IDK. Seems gimmicky.

    Recipe works great but paprika is not my fav, any other suggestions?

  27. User avatar Deep Thought says:

    4 stars
    Delish! The vinegar gives a nice tang. I didn’t have paprika, so I used chili powder, haha!

  28. User avatar carol.friesen91 says:

    The vinegar is too much!! I don’t taste any mustard now. 😩

    1. User avatar malka.swift2 says:

      4 stars
      I think the vinegar is essential for a tangy flavor! Maybe try cutting back a little next time? 🤷‍♂️

    Not prepared for all the dye stuff. What if I mess it up? Do the colors even taste different? 🤔

  33. 3 stars
    Never tried coloring egg whites before. Kinda weird, but might give it a shot.

    Too many steps! Can’t i just boil eggs and slap some mayo on?

  35. User avatar catalina.murazik0 says:

    Eggs are eggs, there’s not magic here, lol. But they do look cool I guess.
