See recipe card for quantities.

📋Instructions

This is an overview of the instructions. Thefull recipeand instructions as well as nutritional information can be found in therecipe cardat the bottom of the page.

The first thing you're going to do is hard boil eggs. The easiest way I have found to do this is in the air fryer and you can get that recipe here, or you can hard boil them using the steam method here. And, when it comes to peeling the eggs you'll want to give them an ice bath and a good shake following the directions here for easy peel eggs.

Once your eggs are cooked and peeled, slice them in half lengthwise and gently scoop out the cooked yolks and place those in a mixing bowl and mash those yolks up.

Add ranch dressing, mayonnaise, salt and pepper and mix well. You can also do this step in a food processor and process until smooth.

Hint: Use eggs that are older. They are easier to peel than fresh eggs.

🥢Substitutions

• Miracle Whip- instead of mayonnaise but keep in mind that Miracle Whip contains mustard flour which is made with finely ground yellow mustard seeds.
• Brown eggs- brown eggs cook the same as white eggs.

📖 Variations

• Sweet- add 2 teaspoons sweet pickle relish to the filling mixture.
• Tangy - add 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar, 1 teaspoon pickle juice, or 1 teaspoon of lemon juice to the egg yolk mixture.
• Spicy - add ½ teaspoon hot sauce or a PINCH of cayenne pepper to the egg yolks mixture and mix.
• Old Bay Seasoning- Most of the flavor from Old Bay Seasoning comes frommustard, paprika and celery salt, along with mace, nutmeg, bay leaf, red pepper and cardamom - keep in mind the mustard flavor and cross this off the list if that's a no-go for you!

🍱Storage

Store in a single layer in an airtight container or an egg carrier and refrigerate for up to 3 days.

These can be made ahead of time but the secret is to keep the cooked egg whites whites and egg yolk filling separate. Wrap the egg white halves well with plastic wrap and keep the prepared deviled egg filling sealed in a resealable plastic bag with all the air squeezed out. Refrigerate everything until you are ready to fill and serve. As a side note, you can cut the corner off the resealable Ziplock bag and use it as a piping bag to fill the egg white halves.
