Flavor Profile Of Deviled Eggs
Before we take a look at the recipes, let’s have a look at the flavor profile of deviled eggs. You might not be quite sure what to expect, so let us tell you!
When it comes to the flavor of deviled eggs, it is really all down to the filling. This kind of recipe uses boiled eggs, so ultimately a deviled egg tastes like a boiled egg.
However, the star of the show is often the filling.
This is because a deviled egg is one that is boiled, the egg shell is removed, the yolk is scooped out – which is added to a filling – and then it is put back into the carved-out area of the egg and served.
You might taste seasoning such as black pepper, salt, mustard, and even egg yolk.
And if you are opting for a lighter version of the Southern deviled eggs, then your wish has been answered.
While the recipe is similar when it comes to the method, a few ingredients have been left out and some have been changed.
For example, you will be using a reduced-fat mayonnaise and Dijon mustard instead, while omitting the salt and pepper entirely. However, there really is not much of a difference.
It takes just the same amount of time to make too!
This deviled eggs recipe is for those who want a curry-flavored hit to their entree. And while you might be thinking that you need to create something complex to fill those eggs – think again!
The flavor of the curry comes from basic ‘ole curry powder which is mixed into the yolk mixture. You will also want to add some chopped pecans too, which will add some crunchy bite to the deviled eggs.
It will only take around 15 minutes to prep with a 15-minute cooking time. This makes it an easy option for a lot of flavors.
Another fun and delicious option when it comes to deviled eggs is these pimiento, cheese, and bacon bites. They look really interesting too because the filling is piped back into the eggs.
The recipe does call for hot sauce, however, if you would rather have no heat then you can leave this ingredient out, or add very little.
The recipe creates around 12 servings and only takes 30 minutes in total to create. This means you can have these tasty deviled eggs ready in next to no time at all.
These Southwestern deviled eggs are a popular choice when it comes to Paula Deen recipes. They include mixing mayonnaise, shredded cheddar cheese, salsa, and sour cream together with the yolk.
They have a slight heat to them too due to the addition of cumin. You can add green onion to garnish if you wish. It adds a slightly tangy flavor as well as a delightful appearance overall.
Altogether the mixture creates 15 servings, while the recipe itself takes around 30 minutes to make.
Another interesting Paula Deen recipe when it comes to deviled eggs is this guacamole version.
Created by Paula Deen’s sons (also known as the Deen Brothers), it includes using red onion, avocado, sour cream, garlic, lime, black pepper, and kosher salt.
You might even find that the recipe itself makes great guacamole ready to be used with tortilla chips.
While this super simple recipe only makes 6 servings altogether, and it will take you a good 40 minutes to create, it is definitely worth it.
If you like a good BLT to start your day, then you will enjoy these deviled eggs inspired by the famous sandwich.

The recipe makes 12 servings and will take you half an hour to make.
When Halloween comes around, you can use deviled eggs to make some scary-looking food. This recipe creates deviled eggs that look like eyeballs.
However, to really create some magic you will need to use food coloring.

Using some red food coloring paste, use a toothpick to draw some veins to make the deviled eggs look extra scary.
This recipe altogether creates 12 servings, and it should only take you around 10 minutes to make.
