See, I can do the sports talk thing! – with 11 other bloggers to bring you twelve tasty tailgating recipes just in time for your next tailgating party!

Now, we all know that chicken wings and nachos are everyone’s favorite tailgating foods…right? Well, I have something a little different for you today – deviled eggs!

So why not serve them during tailgating season too? The cold, creamy bite sized snack is the perfect follow up to a hot and spicy buffalo wing!
Deviled Eggs Recipe
The Perfect Deviled Eggs
Ingredients
- one dozen eggs
- 1/3 cup mayonnaise
- 1/8 teaspoon salt
- 1/8 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- paprika for garnish
Instructions
-
In a large pot, add your eggs and fill with enough water to completely cover all of the eggs - with a little extra. Bring to a rolling boil over high heat. Boil for about ten minutes, then turn the heat off and allow the pot to sit for an additional five minutes.
-
I like to drain the pot with the eggs still in it, then fill with cold water, allowing the water to run over the eggs until the water is overflowing out of the pot. If you are concerned about wasting water, simply drain the pot and put into the fridge for about ten minutes to cool the eggs. I also prefer to peel my eggs under cold running water - it helps remove all of the membrane and shell!
-
Cut the hard boiled eggs in half, removing yolks to a large bowl.
-
Add your mayonnaise, salt, black and cayenne pepper and mash with a fork until it is completely creamy. You might want to use a little more or a little less mayonnaise, depending on how you like the consistency of your stuffing.
-
Get a large Ziploc bag and fill with the yolk filling, then snip off a corner of the bag to pipe the stuffing into the eggs.
Sprinkle with paprika and serve!

Those do look prettier and easier to eat than my version of deviled eggs. Thanks for mentioning the Ziplock idea as a great way to make them like this. This recipe is very similar to the way I make them too.
These are pretty close to how I make them. The plastic baggie trick is the same though 🙂
They look good. And if I use some homemade mayo they would be Whole 30 compliant. Yum!
Deviled eggs are a great addition to any tailgating party for sure. Thanks for sharing the easy recipe.
Nothing can beat a good deviled egg. I like your idea of adding a little spice to them!
You know I only eat these at Thanksgiving? I don’t know why they are yummy.
I never really got into deviled eggs, but my mom and two sisters LOVE them. 🙂
Simple and straight to the point, love it!
These look great! I never would have thought to pipe the filling in, that’s a great idea!
