Ingredients
Instructions
- Remove yolks from eggs and blend well with mayonnaise, vinegar, salt, mustard, and chopped chives.
- Fill the cooked egg whites with the yolk mixture.
- Serve immediately or chilled.
Tips & Substitutions
For a creamier filling, consider using Greek yogurt instead of some mayonnaise. If you want a bit of heat, add a dash of hot sauce or a pinch of cayenne pepper to the yolk mixture. Fresh chives are preferred, but dried can be used in a pinch—just reduce the amount. Make sure to use fresh eggs for easier peeling.
Serving Suggestions
These deviled eggs are perfect as an appetizer or party snack. Serve them alongside other finger foods like Rye Crisps or as part of a brunch spread with Easy Cheese Ring. Garnish with additional chives or paprika for a pop of color and flavor. They pair beautifully with Brown Cow Punch for a refreshing drink.
Storage & Reheating
Store leftover deviled eggs in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. If you need to store them longer, consider separating the yolk mixture from the egg whites to maintain texture. Reassemble before serving. For best results, serve chilled.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I make deviled eggs ahead of time?
Yes, you can prepare the yolk mixture a day in advance and store it in the refrigerator. Just fill the egg whites right before serving to keep them fresh and avoid sogginess.
What if I don't have chives?
If you don't have chives, you can substitute them with finely chopped green onions or parsley for a similar fresh flavor. Dill can also be a great alternative if you enjoy its distinct taste.
How do I prevent my eggs from being hard to peel?
To make peeling easier, use older eggs rather than fresh ones, as they tend to peel better. Also, after boiling, immediately place the eggs in ice water to stop the cooking process and help with peel separation.
