The Complete Ingredient List for Pickle Perfection

Because great dill pickle deviled eggs start with ingredients that pack serious flavor!

• Cold water for boiling

• Ice water for the ice bath

The Tangy Pickle Filling

• 3 tablespoons mayonnaise

• 1 tablespoon sour cream (or Greek yogurt for extra protein)

• 2 tablespoons SuckerPunch Classic Dill Pickle Juice

• 1 teaspoon yellow mustard

• 1/2 teaspoon Dijon mustard

• 2 tablespoons SuckerPunch Classic Dill Pickles, finely chopped

• 1 tablespoon fresh dill, chopped

• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

How to Make Perfect Dill Pickle Deviled Eggs

Follow these simple steps for foolproof results every time!

Step 1: Master the Perfect Hard-Boiled Egg

Place eggs in a large saucepan and cover with cold water by about an inch. Bring to a rolling boil over high heat, then immediately remove the pan from the heat and cover. Let eggs sit in the hot water for exactly 12 minutes for perfectly cooked yolks.

Step 2: The Ice Bath Magic

While eggs are cooking, prepare an ice bath with cold water and plenty of ice. Once the 12 minutes are up, immediately transfer the eggs to the ice water to stop the cooking process. Let them cool for at least 10 minutes. This makes peeling so much easier!

Step 3: Peel Eggs Like a Pro

Gently crack the cooled eggs all over and peel under cool running water. The water helps separate the shell from the egg white. Pat eggs dry with paper towels.

Step 4: Create the Base

Cut each hard-boiled egg in half lengthwise. Carefully remove the egg yolk and place in a mixing bowl. Arrange the egg white halves on your serving platter.

Step 5: Mix the Creamy Filling

Mash the egg yolk with a fork until smooth. Add mayonnaise, sour cream, dill pickle juice, yellow mustard, and Dijon mustard. Mix until the yolk mixture is creamy and well combined. Fold in the chopped dill pickles and fresh dill. Season with black pepper and salt to taste.

Step 6: Fill and Garnish

Spoon or pipe the creamy filling back into each egg white half. For a professional look, use a piping bag or a zip-top bag with the corner snipped off. Garnish each deviled egg with a small sprinkle of paprika, a tiny piece of fresh dill, and a small pickle slice.

Pro Tips for Deviled Egg Success

Make your dill pickle deviled eggs absolutely perfect with these insider tricks!

Choose your eggs wisely: Older eggs (7-10 days old) peel much more easily than fresh eggs. Buy your eggs a week ahead if you're planning for a special event.

The perfect cooking method: For consistently perfect hard-boiled eggs, try the Instant Pot method: 5 minutes high pressure, natural release for 5 minutes, then quick release.

Keep it cool: Only keep your finished deviled eggs at room temperature for 2 hours or less. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

Make-ahead magic: You can prepare these dill pickle deviled eggs up to 24 hours in advance. Just wait to add the garnish until right before serving to keep everything looking fresh.

Creative Variations to Try

Spicy Pickle Kick

Add a pinch of cayenne pepper or use SuckerPunch Fiery Heat Three Pepper Pickles for an extra kick.

Extra Crunch Factor

Mix in finely diced celery along with your pickles for added texture.

Herb Garden Style

Experiment with fresh chives, parsley, or dill pickle seasoning for different flavor profiles.

Greek Yogurt Swap

Replace the sour cream with Greek yogurt for a protein boost and slightly tangier flavor.
