If you prefer your deviled eggs without mustard, you’re going to love this simple 7-ingredient recipe! Sweet pickle relish and apple cider vinegar add just the right flavor.
Whether you call them deviled eggs, stuffed eggs, Russian eggs, or something else entirely, there’s no denying the appeal of these tasty little bites!
However, over the years, I noticed I preferred my deviled eggs without mustard. So, I decided to create this simple dijon-free recipe!
Don’t worry, these little guys still deliver BIG on flavor. Apple cider vinegar, sweet pickle relish, and a sprinkling of paprika make them so irresistible, you’ll have friends and family begging you to make them for every get-together.
In all seriousness, I think this is one of the best deviled egg recipes — no dijon mustard necessary!
Plus, it’s so easy to make with just a few basic ingredients. You may find yourself whipping up this tasty snack at all hours of the day.
Try wasabi or a touch of horseradish to give it that bite without the mustard. Add very small amounts until you get the level you like. If I were trying to make devilled eggs for your hubby I would use mayo, salt, and maybe horseradish . And or hot paprika/cayenne.
Can You Make Deviled Eggs the Day Before?
Whenever possible, I recommend making your deviled eggs the same day you want to eat them. Otherwise, you risk the yolk mixture getting runny.
However, you can easily prepare everything the day before, then store the egg whites and the yolk mixture separately. Once you’re ready to enjoy, just pipe the filling into the egg white halves and serve!
Tips for Peeling Hard-Boiled Eggs
- Older eggs will peel easier than fresh eggs
- If you make them on the stove, start the eggs in cold water and bringing everything to a boil rather than adding them to already boiling water
- Make sure the eggs have enough time to cool completely. If you can leave them in an ice bath for a few hours or even overnight, that’s your best bet! If you’re pressed for time, 30 minutes should be enough to cool them fully
- Peel them under running water to easily wash away tiny eggshell pieces
