Why This Recipe Works

This Instant Pot deviled eggs recipe balances traditional flavors with the convenience of a pressure cooker (I seriously don’t know where I’d be without mine). With the Instant Pot, you can achieve perfectly cooked eggs in minutes, eliminating the usual guesswork of boiling eggs on the stove.

Once cooked, the yolks are mixed with classic fillings like smoked paprika, Dijon, and mayo, then piped back into the egg whites for a beautiful presentation. The final result is creamy and rich with a hint of smokiness and a pop of color from fresh chives.

My favorite part is the everything bagel seasoning, though. I like to add a sprinkle on top for a savory flavor and crunchy texture. Serve these Instant Pot deviled eggs at your next gathering or family meal for a crowd-pleasing snack or appetizer!

Ingredients for Instant Pot deviled eggs.

Ingredients

  • Eggs: Organic or free-range eggs usually provide the best flavor and yolk color. If you can’t find either of those options, opt for free-run eggs.
  • Mayonnaise: Acts as the creamy binder for the egg yolk filling, providing a smooth texture and rich flavor. Homemade or store-bought mayo both work here.
  • Dijon: Adds a tangy bite that cuts through the richness of the mayo and egg yolks. Opt for smooth Dijon mustard, not grainy.
  • Smoked Paprika: Gives a subtle smokiness and vibrant color to your deviled eggs.
  • Chives: Chives add a burst of freshness, a hint of onion flavor, and a pop of color.
  • Everything Bagel Seasoning: I love to add a sprinkle of this for a salty, savory crunch! Typically, I buy mine at Trader Joe’s, but it’s easy to make a homemade mix with poppy seeds, white and black sesame seeds, dried minced garlic and onion, and coarse salt.
Steaming, ice bathing, and peeling eggs.

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Instant Pot: Start by adding a cup of water to your Instant Pot. Place the stainless steel steamer basket inside, then place the eggs in.
  2. Boil the Eggs: Seal the Instant Pot lid, ensuring the vent is in the closed position. Select the manual setting and adjust the time to 5 minutes on high. The pot will take a few minutes to pressurize before the cooking begins.
  3. Cool the Eggs: While eggs are cooking, prepare an ice bath in a large bowl. Once the timer goes off, use an oven mitt to carefully turn the vent for a quick release. Transfer the eggs to the ice bath to halt the cooking process.
  4. Peel and Halve: Once cooled, peel the eggs. Slice each egg in half lengthwise, then remove the yolks and grate them on a fine grater into a medium-sized bowl.
  5. Make the Filling: Add the mayo, Dijon, salt, and smoked paprika to the bowl of yolks, mixing until smooth. Taste and adjust the seasonings.
  6. Assemble: Fill each egg white half with the creamy yolk mixture using a piping bag or zip-top bag with the corner cut off. Garnish the eggs with a sprinkle of smoked paprika, everything but the bagel seasoning, and freshly chopped chives.
  7. Serve: Arrange your deviled eggs on a platter and serve, or chill until needed!

Substitutions & Variations

  • Dijon: If Dijon has too much of a bite for you, you can always use regular mustard.
  • Mayonnaise: For a lighter and more protein-rich version, try replacing some or all of the mayo with Greek yogurt and a squeeze of lemon.
  • Smoked Paprika: If smoked paprika is unavailable, try sweet paprika for color without the smoke or a dash of cayenne for heat.
  • Fresh Herbs: No chives on hand? Use finely chopped parsley, dill, scallions, or cilantro.
  • Garnishes: Switch up the garnishes to suit your taste! Try different seasoning blends, bacon bits, relish, capers, sliced olives, edible flowers, or microgreens.

Storing

Follow these simple tips to keep your Instant Pot deviled eggs fresh and delicious for when you’re ready to enjoy them:

  • Fridge: Place the deviled eggs on a plate or in a container and cover them with plastic wrap or a lid. They can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
  • Freezer: I don’t recommend freezing deviled eggs. The texture and taste will change too much when thawed.
  • Prep Ahead: You can boil the eggs and prepare the filling up to 2 days in advance. Store the whites and the filling separately in the fridge until you’re ready to assemble.

Expert Tips

  • Fresh Eggs: Use the freshest eggs you can find for the best flavor and a smoother filling. Fresh eggs also tend to have better yolk color.
  • Uniform Eggs: For even cooking and presentation, use eggs that are the same size.
  • Peel Under Water: If your eggs are difficult to peel, try peeling them under cold running water to help remove the shell more cleanly and easily.
  • Fill Generously: Use a piping bag with a star nozzle for an attractive, generous filling. This also makes the process quicker and cleaner!
  • Seasoning the Filling: Adjust the seasoning of the filling to taste after mixing. Remember, you can always add more salt, but you can’t take it away.

FAQs

Can I make deviled eggs without an Instant Pot?

Yes, you can make deviled eggs using a traditional stovetop method by boiling the eggs in a pot of water. Whichever method you use, submerge them in an ice bath to stop the cooking process.

How long should I let the eggs sit in the ice bath?

Allow the eggs to sit in the ice bath for at least 5 minutes or until completely cool. This stops the cooking process and makes peeling easier.

How do I prevent my deviled eggs from tipping over on the plate?

Slice a tiny bit off the bottom of each egg white to create a flat surface, ensuring they stay in place.
