Can you make basic deviled eggs ahead of time?
You can! Here’s how.
You can boil the eggs in advance and prepare them by cutting the eggs in half and separating the yolk. Prepare them according to the recipe.
For best results, do not put the yolk mixture into the egg white until the day you will need the deviled eggs.
You can make the filling up to two days in advance.
How to perfectly boil an egg:
Have you ever wanted to know how to perfectly boil an egg? This is how I do it:
- Place your eggs in a large pot (the bigger the better so that they aren’t bumping into each other and cracking). Fill the pot with enough water that the eggs are at least 1 inch below the surface of the water.
- Add 1 teaspoon of baking soda to the water (the sodium bicarbonate will help the eggs separate from their shells, which makes them so easy to peel) and place the pot (uncovered) on the stove.
- Turn the heat to high and let the water come to a full rolling boil. Once there, let the eggs boil for one minute (I usually set a timer).
- After the 1 minute is up, remove the pot from the heat, place a lid on top, and let the eggs sit in the hot water for 15 minutes (you will want to set a timer for this one too).
- Once the time is up, remove the eggs from the pot and place in a bowl. Fill the bowl with ice and cold water.
- Let the eggs sit in the ice water (full submerged) for 5 minutes. At this time, you can either remove the shells immediately or but the eggs in the fridge and peel them as you need them.
- The shells should come off very easily and your yolk will be beautiful (with no green/grey hue around the edges).
