How To Make Thanksgiving Deviled Eggs
The full printable recipe card is below to make these easy-deviled eggs!
- boiled eggs (use large eggs)
- mayonnaise
- Dijon mustard
- fresh lemon juice
- creme fraiche (or sub soft cream cheese, sour cream)
- paprika (not the hot one!)
- sea salt (kosher salt)
- ground black pepper
Garnish Decoration
- sprigs of fresh sage leaves for garnish
- sprigs of fresh thyme leaves for garnish
- or finely diced chives
Make Hard Boiled Eggs
- Make hardboiled eggs: Boil on the stove in a large saucepan, make in an Instant Pot, or try my Steam method!
- Peel and slice eggs in half.
Assemble The Deviled Eggs
- In a medium bowl, add the egg yolks, mayo, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, salt, pepper, smoked paprika, and cream Fraiche' (or soft cream cheese).
- Mix the yolk mixture until well combined with a hand mixer, and load into a large zip log bag or piping bag fitted with a large star tip.
- Pipe the filling back into the boiled egg whites, and garnish with a few fresh tiny sprigs of sage, thyme, or fine minced chives.
- Keep cold and in the fridge until serving time.
Deviled Eggs Top Tips
- Instead of scooping out the yolk with a spoon (which can tear the egg) gently push from the back of the egg and pop the yolk out.
- You can certainly mix the deviled egg filling with a spoon or whisk, but a hand mixer gives you a creamy fluffy texture that pipes beautifully.
- Use a large gallon zip-top bag and large star tip to pipe the filling into the egg white shells, it looks gorgeous and professional.
- Make-Ahead Tips: Boil the eggs, and slice them in half. Keep covered on a tray. Fill your ziptop bag with a piping tip, and have your tiny sage and thyme pieces ready to go, then assemble in minutes right before your party.
Appetizer Party Tips
- Use serving pieces you have, look high and low for the thing you have-trust me you have great pieces to use.
- Plan an area for all your appetizers. A nice long table, the dinner table, or a kitchen counter space all work great. Just plan for your number of guests, and space to walk around the table.
Use what you have to create different heights and to keep people moving around trying different appetizers. Try to set up a scene with levels, and place things up high, low, and spilling out of baskets.
