Making Deviled Eggs for a Crowd
- Make the hard-boiled eggs.
- Begin the process of making the deviled eggs.

- Once the filling mixture is mashed together and seasoned to your liking, scoop the yolk mixture into a sealable plastic bag. Place the horseradish deviled egg filling into the cooler.
- Keep them on the ice packs and ensure they are cold
- Once at your destination. Keep the egg whites and egg filling in the fridge until ready to serve.
- Once ready, remove both from the fridge. Slice a small piece of the corner of the sandwich bag and fill the egg whites with the yolk filling.
Storage
Make Ahead: The eggs can be made ahead of time up to overnight. Make the hard-boiled eggs the day before serving.
- Separate the egg white and egg yolks. Everything should be kept in the refrigerator in covered airtight containers.
- The filling can be made at the same time as making the eggs ahead of time. Keep the filling in a covered airtight container until ready to prepare the deviled eggs.
- Then fill the egg whites as directed in the recipe.
Leftovers can be kept for a short time, about 1 day in a covered airtight container.

Expert Tips
- If you are looking for easy ways to make perfect hard-boiled eggs, this pressure cooker egg recipe is for you.
- If you don't have an instant pot, try our air fryer hard boiled eggs.
- If making the eggs on the stovetop, add ½ teaspoon of white vinegar to the water and then add the eggs. This helps prevent the shells from sticking to the eggs.
- Once the eggs are cooked, be sure to run the eggs under ice cold water to stop the cooking process.
