Herbed Deviled Eggs

Herbed Deviled Eggs are an herby twist on a classic. Chives, dill and sour cream in the creamy filling makes these irresistible. 

If you are finding yourself in need of a last minute appetizer for your holiday party, deviled eggs are always great choice. Around here they are the hit of every party and no matter how many I make, they are always the first thing to go. I’m telling you, people love them.

When it comes to deviled eggs, of course there are Classic Deviled Eggs. Or if you like things spicy, you can make Sriracha Deviled Eggs . Basically you can make just about any kind of deviled egg you think of. This version incorporates fresh herbs and brings a bright twist to a classic. 

Let’s talk about what you’ll need to make it: 

Herb Deviled Eggs Ingredients: 

  • HARDBOILED EGGS: Make sure that they are cool. Cooled eggs are going to peel a bit better
  • MAYONNAISE: Adds creaminess to the filling. 
  • SOUR CREAM: Adds creaminess like the mayo, but also a bit of tanginess to the filling that pairs well with the herbs. 
  • DILL AND CHIVES: I use fresh herbs for this recipe. If you use dried remember that dried herbs a bit stronger than fresh so I would start with 1/2 teaspoon, then taste and add more if desired. 
  • YELLOW MUSTARD: I use yellow mustard when I make deviled eggs but Dijon mustard would also work well in this recipe. 
  • SALT/PEPPER

Step by Step Photos and Instructions: 

Making deviled eggs is so easy! And they are even better when made a head of time which makes these perfect for parties. 

  • STEP #1: Cut the eggs in half lengthwise. Remove the yolks and place in a bowl. 
  • STEP #2: Mash the yolks with a fork and then add remaining ingredients. Continue to mix until smooth and well combined. Season to taste with salt and pepper. 
  • STEP #3: Use a spoon or piping bag to fill the eggs. Top with chopped fresh dill/chives. 

Storage and Leftovers: 

Store any leftovers in an air-tight container in the refrigerator and eat within 3 – 4 days.

    These look delicious! Love that you added dill to the recipe. Recipes other than pickles that include dill are some of my favorites! Thanks for sharing.
