Tips & Substitutions
For perfectly cooked hard-boiled eggs, place them in cold water, bring to a boil, then cover and let sit off heat for 12 minutes. If you want to substitute bacon, try using crumbled tempeh or smoked paprika for a vegetarian option. Adjust the celery salt to your taste; if you prefer less salt, use fresh celery instead.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I make deviled eggs ahead of time?
Yes, you can prepare the filling a day in advance and store it in the refrigerator. Just fill the egg whites shortly before serving to keep them fresh and prevent sogginess.
What can I substitute for bacon?
If you're looking for a bacon alternative, try using cooked turkey bacon or a plant-based bacon product. Smoked paprika can also add a nice depth of flavor without the meat.
How do I prevent the yolks from turning green?
To avoid green yolks, make sure not to overcook the eggs. Cooling them quickly in ice water after boiling helps prevent this discoloration, keeping your deviled eggs looking vibrant.
