Tips and Tricks for Making Perfect Million Dollar Deviled Eggs
- Hard boil your eggs using whatever method you know and love. I prefer to make hard boiled eggs in the air fryer, or hard boiled eggs in the Ninja Foodi.
- The most important secret ingredient in million dollar deviled eggs is butter! It makes the filling extra decadent and smooth.
- Pickle juice and cayenne pepper give these eggs just the right amount of zing!
- For best results, use regular full-fat mayo for this recipe. Low-fat substitutes will not be as tasty.
- Using a food processor to mix the filling gives you a fluffy, light, and amazing texture, but if you don't have one, you can also mix the yolks by hand. It's helpful to use a fork to be sure that all the lumps are broken up.
- You can prepare the filling mixture up to 1 day in advance. Fill the egg whites just before serving so that they're super fresh.
- To make your deviled eggs gorgeous, use a piping bag to fill them, then garnish with a sprinkle of paprika or thinly sliced green onion.
- Store deviled eggs in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days.
