Ingredients To Make The BEST Deviled Eggs
- Eggs
- Mayonnaise
- Dijon Mustard
- Salt and Pepper

How To Serve This Recipe
These deliciously creamy deviled eggs are the best finger food for parties! Beyond parties, you can also make them for casual entertaining, personal lunches, or for any holiday, and they will be a guaranteed hit!
I have one of those platters that are specifically designed with indentations for deviled eggs, so that’s my go-to for serving this recipe.
That being said, you can really serve these Deviled Eggs however you would like. If you don’t have an egg platter, I would recommend a long rectangular platter designed for finger-food, or a seasonal serving dish.
