What’s the trick for deviled eggs?

I have a few tips for the best Bloody Mary deviled eggs.

For easier peeling, use eggs that are about 10 days old rather than fresh ones. Peel the eggs after cooking them once they’re cool enough to handle. Fully chilled eggs are harder to peel. Blend the yolk mixture in a blender for a super smooth consistency.

Should you make deviled eggs the night before or the day of?

You can boil and peel your eggs up to 4 days ahead. Wait until the day before your party to make the filling and cut the eggs. You can fill the egg whites up to 24 hours in advance and refrigerate them in an airtight container. Then add the garnishes just before serving.

Storage

Deviled eggs are best eaten the first two days when they’re freshest, but they’ll last for four days. Remember—they are only safe at room temperature for two hours. If they sit out at a party for longer, throw them out to avoid the risk of food poisoning.
