Gf Deviled Eggs Recipe

Place 12 large eggs in a single layer in a medium saucepan and add enough cold water to cover by about 1 inch. Bring to a gentle boil over high heat.

Once the water reaches a rolling boil, cover the pan, remove from heat, and let sit undisturbed for 10 minutes for fully hard-cooked yolks.

Prepare an ice bath with 6 cups cold water and several ice cubes. After 10 minutes, transfer the eggs to the ice bath and chill 10 minutes to stop cooking and make peeling easier.

Gently crack and peel the eggs under running cold water, pat dry, and slice each egg lengthwise. Carefully remove yolks and place yolks into a medium mixing bowl; set whites on a serving platter or tray.

Mash & Mix

Using a fork, mash the reserved yolks until mostly smooth. Add 1 cup mayonnaise, 2 oz softened cream cheese, 1.5 tbs Dijon mustard, and 1 tsp white wine vinegar.

Season the mixture with 3 tsp kosher salt and 1/2 tsp freshly ground black pepper. For the creamiest, use a hand mixer or immersion blender on low and blend until ultra-smooth and silky (about 30–45 seconds). Taste and adjust seasoning—add more salt or a splash of vinegar if needed.

If the filling is too thick, thin with 1–2 teaspoons cold water or more mayonnaise until it holds shape but is pipeable.

Transfer the filling to a piping bag fitted with a large star or round tip, or use a plastic bag with the corner snipped.

Pipe or spoon the yolk filling into each egg white half, building a small peak for visual appeal. Work across the platter to maintain consistent portioning.

Sprinkle 1 tsp smoked paprika evenly over the filled eggs, then dust an additional 1/2 tsp smoked paprika lightly for color contrast.

Scatter 1/2 cup crispy prosciutto or GF bacon bits over the deviled eggs for crunch, then finish with 2 tbs finely snipped chives and optional microgreens for brightness.

Refrigerate the assembled deviled eggs for at least 15 minutes to let flavors meld. Keep chilled until serving. Serve within 24 hours for best texture (eggs will remain gluten-free if all ingredients labeled GF).
