save and reheat

Hard-boiled eggs can be stored in the refrigerator for 7 days. Fully prepared deviled eggs can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Make sure to put it on one layer. Ideally, though, it’s best to keep the whites and fillings separate.

Deviled eggs can be stored at room temperature for up to 2 hours. If you eat outside on a hot summer day, don’t leave him at the table for more than an hour.

This appetizer is served chilled, so there’s no need to reheat the eggs. We do not recommend freezing appetizers as this will change the texture and flavor of the egg whites.

Tips and variations

  • Use room temperature eggs. They cool the water less and cook more evenly.
  • The best egg yolks for deviled eggs are firm, pale yellow, but not dry. If desired, submerge remaining eggs in hot water for 1 more minute.
  • If you want to skip mayonnaise altogether, replace the condiments with avocado, sour cream, keto hummus, or full-fat Greek yogurt.
  • You can use sesame seeds and green onions to decorate the dish.
  • You don’t need to use fancy piping bags. Punch a hole in a small plastic bag or pierce it with baking paper.
  • If you want to add even more quality protein to your recipe, add bits of salmon or bacon to the egg yolk filling.
  • If you like a little heat, add cayenne pepper or your favorite hot sauce.

Can I eat mayonnaise if I’m on the keto diet?

But make sure your mayonnaise is sugar free. Choose unsweetened mayonnaise brands that use avocado, olive, or coconut oil in their products.

Eggs are hard to peel. what should i do?

Do not skip the step with ice cold water. Shocking an egg with such water causes it to contract just enough to separate the egg white from the shell. This allows the liquid to penetrate underneath the membrane and help free the shell. A very fresh egg will not peel off easily. So you may want to buy your eggs ahead of time and let them rest in the refrigerator for a few days.

Why does this recipe have a funny name?
