- Chopped pickles
There are no limits as to what you can and cannot top these with, it really is a flavor preference, so do what you like with this recipe, it is a basic shell for you to build off of!
DO I HAVE TO PIPE MY FILLING?
We find it easier to use a piping bag with a tip to pipe the filling into the eggs themselves, but this is not necessary. You can use a plastic bag with the corner cut off.
If you don’t have that you can easily just spoon the filling into each egg as well. We pipe because it looks more aesthetic to us, but really it is all about the flavor.
So don’t worry if you don’t have any tools to make them look “pretty” just fill them, top them and you are good to go!
HOW TO STORE:
These Easy Deviled Eggs need to be refrigerated until serving. If you do end up having leftovers, cover or place them in an airtight container and they will last refrigerated for up to 2 days.
