The Best Classic Deviled Eggs - Perfect for holidays and get-togethers. It is such a classic! So good, so creamy and such a crowd-pleaser.

Say hello to my favorite appetizer ever. A simple classic and my go-to for all get-togethers and holiday needs. It comes together VERY quickly (you can even use the Instant Pot to cook your eggs!), and you can make these ahead of time for up to twenty-four hours.

I also love that you can basically garnish these with anything:

bacon + cheese
smoked salmon + dill
chipotle + salsa
bbq chicken

The possibilities are endless, guys. And if you don’t have a pastry bag, do not fret. A Ziploc bag with the corner snipped off also works beautifully here.

Ingredients

12 large eggs
½ cup mayonnaise
2 tablespoons dill pickle relish
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
2 tablespoons chopped fresh chives
¼ teaspoon paprika

Instructions

Place eggs in a large saucepan and cover with cold water by 1 inch. Bring to a boil and cook for 1 minute. Cover eggs with a tight-fitting lid and remove from heat; set aside for 8-10 minutes.
Drain well and let cool before peeling and cutting the eggs in half lengthwise, reserving the yolks.
In a small bowl, mash the yolks with a fork until chunky. Stir in mayonnaise, relish and Dijon; season with salt and pepper, to taste.
Use a pastry bag to pipe into the eggs, garnished with chives and paprika, if desired.*
