The Best Football Deviled Eggs Recipe
Notes on Ingredients
- Eggs: Make sure your eggs are hard-cooked and peeled perfectly for a smooth base.
- Mayonnaise: Provides the creamy texture; use your favorite brand.
- Mustard: Adds a tangy kick. I used Private Selection Fire Roasted Chipotle Mustard for some smoky heat, but any mustard will do.
- Hot Sauce: Adjust to your spice level. A little dash brings out great flavor without overpowering.
- Fresh Chives: Not just for garnish, these add a fresh, mild onion taste and complete the football look.
How to Make Football Deviled Eggs
- Prep the Eggs: Start by cutting the hard-cooked eggs in half lengthwise. Gently remove the yolks and place them in a medium bowl.
- Make the Filling: Mash the yolks with a fork until smooth, then stir in the mayo, mustard, salt, pepper, and hot sauce. Keep mixing until you achieve a creamy, well-blended consistency.
- Fill the Eggs: Spoon the yolk mixture evenly back into the egg white halves. You can use a spoon or a piping bag for a neater look.
- Garnish & Decorate: Garnish with fresh chives, arranging them carefully to resemble football laces on each egg.
- Chill & Serve: Place in the fridge to chill until you’re ready to serve.
How to Serve Football Deviled Eggs
Serve these deviled eggs chilled as an appetizer or snack. They are the perfect bite-sized treat for any football gathering, game night, or tailgate party. Arrange them on a platter with extra chives or sprinkle with paprika for added color.
How to Store Football Deviled Eggs
If you have leftovers (which is rare because they’re so good!), store the Football Deviled Eggs in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Be sure to keep them chilled, as deviled eggs don’t fare well at room temperature for long.
