What makes these deviled eggs so special? A secret ingredient! Check out my recipe for secret ingredient deviled eggs to find out what it is.
Springtime is here and Easter is just around the corner! Deviled eggs are a springy, Easter dinner staple. Right? I love deviled eggs! However, I make mine just a little bit different. I like my deviled eggs to have a zippy flavor and hold the paprika, please. I don’t care for paprika on deviled eggs. It doesn’t add flavor and the color runs and looks icky. I get the zippy flavor I want from a secret ingredient. So if you are curious as to what my secret ingredient is read on….
Start by hard boiling a dozen eggs. To make them easier to peel, boil the eggs with a teaspoon of baking soda in the water. Then when the eggs are done boiling, drain the boiling water and cover the eggs with ice to cool them super quick. Peel in the eggs, slice them in half and put the yolk in a bowl. Use a fork to mash up the egg yolks.
Mix in the mayo, mustard, garlic salt, onion salt and…..the dill pickle juice. Did you guess the secret ingredient would be pickle juice? Use a fork to mix it all together. Then switch to a small spatula and squish any remaining egg yolk pieces in so the mixture is smooth. Now I like my deviled egg mixture a little thicker because I like to pipe it into the eggs. If you want to spoon it into the egg or just like your filling a little more wet then add a mayo until you get the consistency you like.
Fill a frosting bag with the egg yolk mixture and pipe it into the empty egg whites. Garnish with green onion tips if desired.
