  • to get the best, easy to peel, hardboiled eggs use my Instant Pot Method
  • my family loves pickles (I do not lol) but they enjoy when I finely dice pickles and use pickle juice for a change in flavor
  • there are so many garnishes you can use on top of these deviled eggs, here are some of our favorites
    • fresh herbs like dill and chives
    • thinly sliced radish for a peppery crunch
    • crispy bacon bits for a salty touch
    • diced pickles
    • pickled red onion
  • you can make these ahead of time and store them in the fridge in an airtight container but they should be consumed within 3-4 days

    I really enjoyed this recipe! I made these for Easter and it was simple to make. I had avoided making these for years because I thought it was difficult but this recipe made it so easy. I’m loving the few leftovers that I had!
