Common Questions About Million-Dollar Deviled Eggs
Can I Make These Ahead of Time?
Yes! Prepare the eggs and filling a day in advance and store them in separate airtight containers in the refrigerator. Assemble them all before your event for the best results.
How Do I Get Perfect Hard-Boiled Eggs?
Start with cold water in a large saucepan, making sure the eggs are in a single layer. Bring to a rolling boil, then cover and remove from heat. Let stand before transferring to an ice bath for easy peeling.
Any Tips for a Smooth Filling?
For an extra creamy filling, blend the egg yolk mixture with a food processor or electric hand mixer until smooth. A pastry bag can then be used for an elegant presentation.
Storage
Though you can store them for a couple days after the big party, these eggs are best enjoyed fresh. The flavor and texture will change a bit with time.
Refrigerator
Keep assembled deviled eggs in an airtight container or on a serving platter covered with plastic wrap for up to 2 days.
Freezer
Freezing is not recommended, as it can affect the texture and presentation of the eggs.
Tips
Deviled eggs have always been one of my favorite things during holidays. This recipe is extra yummy! I’ve tried lots of new recipes over the years and this is the one.
- Use Fresh Eggs: This ensures the egg whites are firm and the yolks are vibrant for the best deviled eggs.
- Room Temperature Ingredients: Bring eggs and butter to room temperature for a smoother mixture.
- Piping Bag for Filling: Use a piping bag with a star tip for a professional touch, or a zip-top bag with a corner cut off for simplicity.
- Ice Bath for Easy Peeling: An ice water bath post-boiling makes peeling the eggs a breeze, maintaining their perfect shape.
- Garnish Before Serving: Add paprika and chives right before serving to maintain their color and freshness.

How to Make Million Dollar Deviled Eggs
Just follow these simple steps and everything will come together beautifully. At your next party you can bring these out and wow any crowd!
- Place the eggs in a single layer in a saucepan and cover with water. Bring them to a boil, then reduce the heat to a simmer and cook them for 12 minutes. Transfer the eggs to an ice water bath to cool.
- Once cooled, peel the eggs and cut them in half lengthwise. Remove the yolks and place them in a bowl. Set the egg whites aside on a plate.
- Mash the egg yolks with a fork, then add the mayonnaise, softened butter, Dijon mustard, white vinegar, salt, and pepper. Mix until smooth and creamy. I find that a pastry blender works really well for this mashing and mixing process.
- Spoon or pipe the yolk mixture into the egg whites, creating a generous filling in each half.
- Garnish each deviled egg with a sprinkle of paprika and a pinch of chopped chives.
- Refrigerate for at least 1 hour before serving to allow the flavors to meld.
