How to Make Thanksgiving Deviled Eggs
Deviled eggs have been a staple in my home for as long as I can remember. Normally we stick to a general basic recipe for deviled eggs using sandwich spread, however, I love to experiment.
Since Thanksgiving is right around the corner, it’s time to start thinking about all of those wonderful dishes that will be adorning your dining room table! Some of our family’s favorites are this succulent Roasted Duck, my Savory Cornbread Dressing, my dreamy Corn Casserole, and of course you can’t forget dessert! This Pecan Pie is simply perfect!
Why This Recipe Works
I think my favorite thing about making unique deviled egg recipes is that I can customize them for a variety of different holidays.

Expert Tips, Ingredient List and Suggestions for Recipe Success
Before you get started on the recipe, here are a few helpful tips and suggestions.
For this recipe, you will need
- mayo – any brand will work
- Dijon mustard – this really will add a wonderful tang to the eggs.
- Salted butter – since you won’t be adding salt, you can use salted butter.
- Bacon – any seasoned flavor will work
- Sage – this is a seasoning you must use during the Thanksgiving holidays
- Eggs – I normally use large when making deviled eggs
How Long Can They Sit out at Room Temperature?
The longest you should leave the eggs out are 2 hours max.
How Do You Get Boiled Eggs to Peel Easily?
After you boil the eggs, put them immediately into an ice bath for 10 to 15 minutes. When you remove them out of the cold water, tap the bottom of the egg and then the sides on the cutting board. Your shells should come off easily.
Can I Make Them Ahead of Time?
Yes. I normally make them a day ahead, however, when I make them, I keep the egg filing and the eggs separate. I fill them right before serving.
One key tip that I have found that is so helpful though is using a piping bag when I am filling my deviled eggs. It helps keep the eggs neater; at least in my opinion it does. Of course you can also use a Ziploc bag and cut a tip off to pipe instead of using an actual bag. Two of my favorite tips to use when piping are the Ateco #809 and the #828.
Step by Step Directions
Step 1: Add the eggs into a medium sized saucepan and fill with cool water. You will only want to add enough water to cover the eggs.
Step 2: Place the saucepan onto the stovetop and turn the burner to medium high.
Step 3: Bring the water to a hard rolling boil. Once the water gets to that point, remove the saucepan from the burner, cover, and let the eggs sit for 10 to 15 minutes.
Step 4: While the eggs are cooking, add ice cubes and cold water into a large bowl.
Step 5: Once the eggs are done, using a pair of tongs, carefully add them into the ice bath and let them cool. It will take approximately another 10 to 15 minutes.
Step 6: Once the eggs have cooled, tap the bottom of the egg on the cutting board or on your counter top, then gently tap the sides. Then start to peel the eggs.
Step 7: Using a knife, cut each egg in half. Then remove the yolk with a spoon.
Step 8: Add the yolk into a small bowl. Once you have all of the yolks out of the eggs, mash with a fork.
Step 11: Top each egg with a piece of the bacon.
Step 9: Add in all of the ingredients EXCEPT the bacon.
Step 10: Prepare your piping bag. Then add the egg mixture into the piping bag and fill your eggs.
Step 12: Enjoy!
