- Bowls: You will need a couple of mixing bowls to put the boiled eggs into the ice water and mix the yolk filling, respectively.
- Wire Balloon Whisk or Fork: This tool comes handy to break down the yolks and blending them with the other ingredients.
- Pastry Bag: I advise you to keep a pastry bag to pipe the yolk filling back into the egg whites. If you don’t have a pastry bag, you can also use a spoon.
- Sharp Knife: I use a sharp knife to cut the eggs neatly.

Storing And Reheating This Recipe
Storing
- Room Temperature: I generally keep deviled eggs on a plate covered with a plastic wrap at room temperature if I wish to consume them with in an hour. After this time frame they should be refrigerated immediately to prevent spoilage.
- Refrigerate: After making the deviled eggs, I put them into an airtight container. I make sure to lay them in a single layer so that they do not get squashed or messy. Then I carefully put the container in the fridge right away where it can be stored for up to 2 days.
Reheating
- Warm Water Bath: To reheat deviled eggs, I grab a dish and fill it with warm water. Then I take out the deviled eggs and put them in warm water for 15 minutes. This trick warms the eggs without cooking them or messing with texture.
- Microwave: You can also heat your egg in a microwave. Just grab a microwave safe plate and put the devil eggs on it. Cover them with a microwave safe lid and heat them on medium-low setting. This will heat the eggs just perfectly without them turning rubbery.
What To Serve With This Recipe
Whenever I serve these deviled eggs, I place them on a beautiful plate garnished with herbs like parsley or dill that adds colour and freshness to the dish. Then, I also place some colourful veggies like cherry tomatoes, cucumber and radish slices around them to make the dish visually appealing. But that’s not all!
They also make a great pairing with sandwiches such as Ham Sandwiches and Turkey Clubs. Moreover, if you love seafood then you can have it with Grilled Shrimps and Crab Cakes. I also like to serve these deviled eggs with southern classics like Biscuits or Cornbread.
