And guess what, all these years later everybody always loves these creamy, tangy appetizers just as much as Gramps did. Enjoy!

How to Hard Boil the Eggs

Step 1: Gently place the eggs in a large saucepan and cover them with cold water. Turn on the stove heat to high and bring the eggs to a boil. Once they began boiling turn down the heat to the lowest setting and simmer for exactly 15 minutes with the cover on the pan. After 15 minutes, remove the pan from the heat, pour out the hot water and run cold water over the eggs to stop them from cooking. Remove the eggs from the water and allow them to completely cool. You can do this part ahead of time and keep the hard-boiled eggs in the refrigerator until you are ready to make the deviled eggs.

Expert Tips and FAQ’s

Storage Instructions

The eggs can be stored in the refrigerator for 4-5 days in an air-tight container. You can sit them out for a party for a couple of hours but you need to be careful because of the mayonnaise. Bring them out at the last minute if you are outside on a hot day … luckily in our experience, these Deviled Eggs are always the first appetizer to be eaten at a party.
