The Secret to a Perfect Deviled Egg Filling

For irresistibly smooth and flavorful filling, use high-quality mayo and just the right amount of Dijon mustard.

A touch of smoked paprika and a sprinkle of chives or crispy bacon add Thanksgiving warmth and festivity to every bite.

Once your eggs are boiled and cooled, simply slice and fill. Piping the filling with a star tip makes them look beautiful with little effort, while toppings like chopped fresh herbs, pomegranate seeds, or a dash of paprika make your platter pop. Serve on a bed of greens or with colorful garnishes for an extra festive effect.
