My Personal Experience

I first made these Keto Dijon Deviled Eggs on a whim one afternoon when I had some leftover boiled eggs. I was craving something light yet satisfying, and they turned out better than I could have imagined. The Dijon mustard adds just the right amount of tang and complements the creaminess of the egg yolk perfectly.

It’s now one of my go-to recipes for any occasion, and I always get compliments on how delicious they are!

Required Equipment

Here’s what you’ll need to make these Keto Dijon Deviled Eggs:

• Boiling Pot: A small pot that’s perfect for boiling your eggs. I always use a pot that’s just the right size to prevent cracking while boiling the eggs. It makes the process so much smoother.
• Egg Timer or Timer: If you want to make sure your eggs are perfectly boiled, an egg timer can be a lifesaver. I like to use a simple timer to keep track of cooking time and ensure I get the perfect hard-boiled eggs every time.
• Knife: A sharp knife is essential for cutting the boiled eggs in half cleanly. It makes the process so much easier and ensures a smooth filling later.
• Spoon or Small Scoop: For removing the yolks from the eggs. I love using a spoon that has a bit of a curve to it, as it helps scoop the yolks out without breaking the egg whites.
• Mixing Bowl: You’ll need a bowl to mix the egg yolks with mayo, mustard, and seasonings. I prefer a small to medium-sized bowl that allows for easy mixing and ensures the filling is nice and smooth.
• Piping Bag or Plastic Bag: For filling the egg whites with the yolk mixture. I use a piping bag for a neater and more professional look, but you can also use a plastic bag with the tip cut off if you don’t have one handy.

Ingredients & Substitutions

Here’s what you’ll need:

• 6 large eggs
  Eggs are the star of this recipe. They provide the perfect base for deviled eggs, giving you the creamy yolk filling and a protein-packed bite. Make sure your eggs are fresh for the best flavor and texture.
  Substitution: You can use medium-sized eggs if that’s all you have, but the filling will be a bit less.
• 3 tbsp mayonnaise
  Mayonnaise brings richness and creaminess to the filling, binding everything together. I like to use a full-fat, no-sugar mayo for the best texture and flavor.
  Substitution: If you’re looking for a dairy-free or lighter version, you can substitute the mayo with avocado or Greek yogurt.
• 1 tsp Dijon mustard
  Dijon mustard adds that tangy flavor that takes these deviled eggs to the next level.
  Substitution: You can use yellow mustard if you prefer a milder taste, but Dijon has a distinct, sharper flavor that I love.
• Salt and pepper, to taste
  A little salt and pepper help balance the flavors. Don’t overdo it—taste as you go!
  Substitution: Feel free to add other seasonings such as garlic powder or cayenne pepper for an extra kick.
• Paprika (for garnish)
  A sprinkle of paprika adds color and a mild smoky flavor that perfectly complements the tangy filling.

How to Make Keto Dijon Deviled Eggs

Step 1: Boil the Eggs

Start by placing the eggs in a pot and covering them with water. Bring the water to a boil over medium-high heat, and once it’s boiling, reduce the heat to low and simmer for about 10-12 minutes. If you’re unsure, use an egg timer to make sure they cook perfectly. Once done, remove the eggs from the pot and cool them under cold running water or by placing them in an ice bath.

Step 2: Peel the Eggs

Once the eggs have cooled down, gently crack them and peel off the shells. Be careful not to tear the egg whites as you peel them. I’ve found that cracking the eggs gently on a hard surface and rolling them helps to get the shells off without too much effort.

Step 3: Slice and Remove the Yolks

Using a sharp knife, carefully slice each boiled egg in half lengthwise. Gently scoop out the yolks using a spoon and place them in a small mixing bowl. Set the egg whites aside.

Step 4: Make the Filling

Mash the yolks with a fork until they’re crumbly. Add the mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper, then mix until smooth. If you want an extra creamy texture, use a hand mixer or a whisk to blend everything together.

Step 5: Fill the Egg Whites

Spoon the yolk mixture into the empty egg whites. If you want a more elegant presentation, use a piping bag or a plastic bag with the tip cut off to pipe the filling neatly into the whites. You can also just spoon it in if you prefer a more rustic look.

Step 6: Garnish and Serve

Sprinkle a little paprika on top for garnish, and optionally, add a dash of fresh herbs like chives or parsley for extra flavor. Now they’re ready to enjoy!

Tips for This Recipe

• Perfect Boiled Eggs: If you’re unsure how long to cook the eggs, try experimenting to find your perfect method. Some people prefer their yolks a little softer, while others like them firmer.
• Chill Before Serving: For best results, chill the deviled eggs in the fridge for about 30 minutes before serving. This helps the flavors meld together and makes the eggs firmer and easier to handle.

Optional Additions

• Bacon Bits: Add a crunchy, savory touch by sprinkling crumbled bacon on top of the eggs.
• Pickles: Try adding finely chopped dill pickles to the filling for an extra tangy twist.
• Avocado: Mash some avocado into the filling for a creamy, smooth texture.

Serving Ideas

These Keto Dijon Deviled Eggs are perfect for appetizers, snacks, or as part of a keto-friendly brunch spread. Serve them alongside a fresh salad, on a charcuterie board, or enjoy them on their own!

Storage Recommendation

Store any leftover deviled eggs in an airtight container in the refrigerator. They’ll stay fresh for up to 2 days.
Reheating Tip: While deviled eggs are best enjoyed cold, if you prefer them slightly warm, you can heat them gently in the microwave for about 10-15 seconds. Just make sure to remove the filling first to avoid overheating.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I make these deviled eggs ahead of time?
Absolutely! These eggs can be made a day ahead. Just keep them in the fridge until you’re ready to serve.

Can I use a different mustard?
Yes! While Dijon mustard is my favorite for this recipe, you can substitute it with yellow mustard or even spicy brown mustard if you prefer a bolder taste.
