Why Add Horseradish to Deviled Eggs?

Horseradish adds loads of flavor, without adding too much heat. It's a great way to give your deviled eggs an extra zippy flavor kick, and so easy to add in.

What Kind of Horseradish Should I Use?

The recipe calls for horseradish sauce. At the store, you will find prepared horseradish and creamy horseradish sauce. You want the sauce version.

The prepared horseradish is simply raw, grated horseradish processed with vinegar and salt. The creamy horseradish sauce for the recipe will have a cream or mayo-based component mixed in with the horseradish. You can usually find it in the condiment section of your supermarket.

What is the Best Way to Cook Eggs for Horseradish Deviled Eggs?

I prefer to use my foolproof stovetop method of cooking hard boiled eggs.

To do this:

• Place eggs in a single layer in the bottom of a large pot.
• Cover with a total depth of about 3-inches of water (the eggs should be covered, plus about an additional inch of water).
• Bring to a boil over high heat heat.
• When water comes to a rolling boil, cover. Remove from heat immediately.
• Let pot sit covered for 10-12 minutes.
• Drain pot and transfer eggs to sit in ice water, until cool enough to handle.

Variations on Horseradish Deviled Eggs

To add a little extra flavor to your horseradish deviled eggs, try these add-in ideas.

• Fresh herbs: for a bright fresh flavor, add some herbs. My favorites for these are chives, dill, or thyme.
• Bacon: I used bacon as a garnish for the pictures here. But it's also good mixed into the filling. Make sure the bacon is patted dry after cooking so the flavor doesn't become too overpowering.
• Cheese: A little bit of finely shredded cheese such as cheddar or gouda mixed into the filling will add a touch of creaminess.
• Peppers: Bell peppers or hot peppers, such as jalapenos or serranos, can add a little bit of fresh flavor or spice.

How to Make Horseradish Deviled Eggs Ahead of Time

These horseradish deviled eggs are super easy to make ahead of time. The way to keep them the freshest is to keep the whites and the filling separate until just before serving.

Prepare eggs and filling. Store whites on a large plate covered in the refrigerator. Transfer the prepared filling to a baggy and seal. Store in the refrigerator.

Just before serving, cut a corner off the bag and squeeze filling into the whites. Garnish with desired garnishes.

Can I Use a Piping Bag?

Yes, you can, but you don't have to. Piping in the filling can make it look a little more special and pretty.
