Hey I’m John canel and today on preppy kitchen we’re making some quick and delicious EV EV eggs quick and delicious deved eggs so let’s get started first off you want to grab six eggs but not just any eggs you want the older eggs in the back of your

Refrigerator that are on the tail end of being good because fresh eggs are horrible to peel they will really give you nightmares so in this case older is better place them into a medium pot carefully along with two teaspoons of salt and 2 teaspoons of vinegar there we go now we’re going to

Fill this with water so the eggs are covered by 1 to 2 Ines of water this is me as an influencer with a product online all right cold water is fine for this by the way I’m going to bring this to boil over medium high heat and once these eggs are

Boiling set a timer for 7 minutes and no more I’ve totally overboiled the eggs and it is not cool the yolks become so rubbery and they can also be discolored so not only is your filling going to be not silky smooth it’s going to be not beautifully like orangey yellow you’ll

Have little Flex of gray so you do not want to overboil them by the way if you’re wondering why they’re called deviled eggs deviling something was a way of making something spicy and I think richer too so you had lots of different things that were deled however

Deled eggs are like the one thing that’s still really popular now you know as soon as your 7 Minute Timer goes off these delicious little eggs have to go into an ice bath that’ll stop the cooking and in theory it’ll help the egg pull away from

The shell making it easier to peel cuz these eggs are going to peel easily positive intentions these eggs can chill out in their ice bath for 10 minutes so they cool completely and in the meantime we’re going to want to grab the rest of the ingredients for our delicious

Deviled eggs so just make sure you have your Mayo Dijon mustard a little bit more vinegar some salt and pepper and paprika my eggs are completely cool it’s time to peel them they’ll be peeling so easily cuz everything was done properly look at this oh magic isn’t that wonderful

If you have any little tiny fragments of shells hanging out on your egg or even fear that that might be the case just dip them back in your water and give them a shake and all the shells will fly off cuz there’s no more surface tension and think good thoughts deviled eggs by

The way can be traced all the way back to ancient Rome where boiled eggs were eaten with delicious spices although I find ancient Roman R used to be like no there’s like a lot of like cured sea food nonsense happening that I just don’t like personally no offense to them

Um we’re going to peel the rest of these and then cut them in half very carefully I also want to talk about some of the many variations you can do because this is a classic devil deag recipe but think of it as the base upon which you can

Build and make this recipe your own I’ve had pretty good luck with these eggs only one of them was Troublesome but the rest have been pretty nice you have to watch out because sometimes you’ll peel the eggs and you think oh my gosh this is going great but you’re just peeling

The shell off not this horrible little membrane keeps the egg safe but not delicious and I don’t like it this is a really classic I think Easter recipe it’s great for picnics and everything else but I love making these all the time I love boiled eggs and deviled eggs are just more delicious

Boiled eggs and you can definitely make these in so many different ways they look really fancy but it’s a quick and easy treat that I find very snackable as long as those eggs peel nicely which these ones did I’m so happy about that I would give this a 7.9 out of 10 for

Peeling all right it’s time to cut our eggs in half carefully we want to maintain that beautiful nice Edge don’t we carefully remove perfectly cooked egg not at all gray we’re going to put the egg yolks into the bowl and leave our egg whes to the side okay continue slice them in

Half to my yolks I’m going to add three tablespoons of mayonnaise one and this is going to make it creamy and really rich and just lovely mayonnaise is great if you don’t like mayonnaise I’m so sorry but it really has its place if you need a substitution for mayonnaise just because

You cannot stomach it or maybe you’re allergic um although you’d be allergic to eggs in which case um I would use sour cream but really Mayo has the perfect Tang for this interestingly enough mayonnaise wasn’t used in devil eggs until the 1940s so you could skip it and pretend

You’re doing some historical eating the real spiciness comes from 1 and 1/2 teaspoons of Dijon mustard just like that I’m also adding 1 teaspoon of white vinegar in here this acidity just gives it a little bit more bite now we’re going to use a fork to mash this

Together and if you wanted to there are so many things you could add to this for some extra flavor you could add a few drops of truffle oil you could add some more paprika we’re going to use paprika as a garnish but you could add smoked

Paprika in here a little bit of chili the list goes on you could even add some avocado for an avocado devil egg I would just do like a quarter of a really beautifully ripe avocado for that a lot of the other additions could be sprinkled on top deviled eggs are so

Retro like I said earlier they’ve been made since ancient Roman times many iterations since and the creamier ones we have now are truly delicious I think you should make them all the time I’m going to be piping this so I want it to be really smooth if you’re not piping it

You could add crumbled bits of bacon in there you could add so many like jalapeno pieces tons of delicious things can go inside but if you’re piping it to be really beautiful then you’re going to want to sprinkle those delicious crunchy things on top okay speaking of which even though

This is nicely mashed this is a lumpy nightmare very triggered so this is going to get passed through a c and then I’m gonna pipe it totally optional but it’s gonna be so beautiful and have a really lovely creamy mouth feel if this seems fussy to you it is and I can be

Fussy sometimes but I love the end result do you need to do it absolutely not it’s just if you want to pipe it and have no texture issues if I was making this for my kids on a weekday no I’m not going to do that it would just be

Slopped in there and be really delicious and everyone eat them in 5 seconds this is what I would do if I was having people over or making this on camera for somebody else you want to go the extra step so it’s really pretty come take a

Look at the finished texture it is so creamy look at that gorgeous now we’re just going to pipe the yolk in and we have a lot of filling so pipe it on high garnish your deviled eggs however you’d like I’m doing a pinch of paprika and some pepper but you

Could add chopped pickles crumbled bacon anything that you like that’s delicious will be great on these there is no wrong answer it’s always best to enjoy your deved eggs right after you make them and honestly as soon as they are done people will lift them up and they will

Disappear but if you have any left over you can keep them in the fridge in an airtight container overnight and enjoy them the next Day these deviled eggs are so delicious creamy spicy with a nice hit of acid I could eat the whole batch but I might just share I hope you enjoy this recipe and if you like this video check out my appetizer playlist

  1. Hi John, really like you channel and would like a quick and easy potato salad recipe that you can use some of these eggs.

  2. Friend, you need to get an egg steamer. NEVER experience peeling problems again. I am on my second and , maybe had two eggs with difficulty. See, you can learn, too.

  3. I'll have to try this recipe! My grandmother makes deviled eggs around Easter and New Year's Eve, and she makes a light sauce with mayo, sour cream and buttermilk to serve with them. So good!

  4. If you're buying eggs from the store, it should be fine to use them whenever. Not using fresh eggs for hard boiled really only applies if you get them super fresh from a farm or directly from your own backyard.

    Also, adding the eggs to already boiling water makes it easier to peel the eggs. Cooking them in cold water allows the shell to stick to the membrane, making it harder to peel. Starting them in already boiling water prevents that.

  5. I use a cheese wire slicer thingy to cut my eggs in half. Very clean cuts! Delicious (and pretty) with chive flowers for garnish.

  6. The key to a successful channel is making a dish that a home cook with little to no skill can pull off.

  7. How my family does it in New Orleans: mix eggs with Deviled Ham (the good stuff!) mustard, mayo, seasoning of choice but usually salt isn’t needed. Stuff eggs. Fix boiled, peeled, medium to small shrimp on a toothpick and stick that into an end of the egg white. Maybe some Louisiana Hot Sauce? Dust with paprika. Nest in a sea of romaine/endive. Voila’! SHRIMPBOATS! Play the old song 🎵 Shrimpboats are comin’ their sails are in sight. SHRIMPBOATS are comin’ there’s dancing tonite! 🎶

  8. Preppy Kitchen – Forget the pan on the stove for hard-boiled eggs…and no more peeling issues:
    Put eggs in an Instant Pot on the rack; fill water up to the rim of the rack, not over the eggs. Pressure cook for 4 mins., and 5 mins. of natural release, then into cold water. Peels practically slip off, and the eggs are perfect every time!

  9. hey john, could you please post a video of your air fryer beignets recipe. i really want to try it out and visuals really help.

  10. hey john, could you please make a video for your air fryer beignets. i would really love to try the recipe and visuals really help!

  11. Interestingly, my dad had an egg allergy. He couldn't eat mayo, but could eat hard boiled eggs. Apparently boiling them changes the protein enough to not be recognized.

  12. Hi John, Have you tried using a teaspoon to slide up under the shell and peel them that way? I have found that it actually works! Doesn’t do so much, if any, damage to the shells either. It’s got to be worth a try 🐣. Happy Easter

  13. When it comes to deviled eggs EVERYONE has an opinion. Everyone has their own individual tastes. Some people like onions in theirs, I don't. Some like mayonnaise, I like Miracle Whip. Just because your tastes are different, doesn't mean it's better or worse. It's whatever you like.

  14. Do you tap the egg so that the shell comes right off. Took me 60+ to find this out. You tap the shell before you put it in the boiling water. I cook them for egg salad. I'm sure you know all about it. 😁

  15. I just yelled to my son…thinking he had turned my video off😂😂😂😂💜💜 can we see the end…please😂💜🥰

  16. OOOO I LOVE deviled eggs aka stuffed eggs at our house. How do you get your stuffing in the piping bag? I HATE trying to get anything in a piping bag. Great tips on the eggs btw. Definitely trying the vinegar n salt in the water the eggs are boiled in. Thank you

  17. I just received your lovely book Preppy Kitchen over here in Oz – I'm so happy I ordered it. I love your videos and your recipes, all the info you give and the work you put in to making the recipes clear and fabulous. I have to say, as an Aussie, I shuddered at your scone recipe (I'm sorry, and I'm sure they're better than the things America seems to think scones are but they're still wrong! 😀 ) but I fully agree re: the pavlova. How is it not more popular in a country that combines sweet potato with marshmallow?!!

    Srsly though, my comment possibly sounds too critical, Aussies sound like that, but I already love the book and am looking forward to cooking more of your recipes. Including this one for devilled eggs! A nostalgic fave 🙂 x

  18. Love some deviled eggs! Top with some Cowboy Candy, Superb!! I just recently found a new hot sauce called Tabanero sriracha honey… topped mine off with it, and omgz, to die for!

  19. I grew up on Hellmann's!!! I don't much like the Miracle Whip. Hellmann's goes with deviled eggs, mac salad, and potato salad.

  20. OMG! Looks sooo yummy. Tell me but do these keep crunchy for long. I've found air-frying is good and quick but they don't keep well after they get cold. Is there something I'm not doing right?

  21. I use mayo, some dry mustard, and dill pickle juice. I rope w paprika and a slice of a green olive with pimento!
