Ingredients for Horseradish Deviled Eggs

• Hard-boiled eggs: You’ll need 6 peeled, hard-boiled eggs for these deviled eggs with horseradish. We suggest opting for larger eggs so you can get more filling inside.
• Mayonnaise: Mayo is the main binder for the deviled egg filling. We like a full-fat mayonnaise here so it’s extra creamy.
• Horseradish: 1 to 2 tablespoons of prepared horseradish takes these deviled eggs to the next level, spice-wise.
• Seasonings: Ground mustard, paprika and dill weed complement the horseradish without overpowering the eggs.

Directions

Step 1: Hard boil the eggs

To make hard-boiled eggs, place the eggs in a single layer in a large saucepan, then add enough cold water to cover them by an inch. Cover and quickly bring to a boil. Remove the pan from the heat. Let stand for 15 minutes for large eggs (18 minutes for extra-large eggs and 12 minutes for medium eggs).

Step 2: Remove the yolks

Once the eggs are cool, remove the shells and cut them in half lengthwise. Then remove the yolks and set the whites aside.

Step 3: Make the filling

Horseradish Deviled Egg Variations

• Add bacon: Everything is better with bacon, including deviled eggs. The spicy kick these eggs pack pairs well with a crispy topper like crumbled-up bacon bits.
• Add herbs: For a fresh finish, you could also garnish them with chopped chives or dill for a bit of green herbaceous flavor.
• Add them to toast: We love a savory toast topper for breakfast or an afternoon snack—we’re looking at you, avocado toast—and mashed-up deviled eggs are even better.
