Garden Herbed Deviled Eggs
Main Description Here’s a party appetizer made just for fresh garden herbs—deviled eggs with a twist.
If you are watching calories (and who isn’t!), use low-fat or fat-free mayonnaise instead. Serve on a pretty platter garnished with parsley or dill.

- 12 large eggs
- 1/4 cup mayonnaise
- 1 teaspoon white vinegar
- 1 teaspoon prepared mustard
- 1/2 teaspoon each salt and pepper
- 2 Tablespoons chives, very finely chopped
- 2 Tablespoons dill, very finely chopped
- 2 teaspoons parsley, very finely chopped
Optional
- Additional sprigs of chives or dill (for garnishing eggs)
- Additional sprigs of parsley, chives and/or dill (for garnishing platter)
- Paprika for garnishing eggs
step 1Place eggs in saucepot and cover with cold water until there is an inch of water above the eggs. Over high heat on the stove, bring the water to a boil. Boil for one minute. Remove pot from the heat and let sit for 12 minutes. Cool eggs in the pot by rinsing with cold water. Peel, rinse and discard egg shells.
step 2Slice cooled eggs in half on cutting board and scoop egg yolks into a medium bowl. Put the egg whites aside. Add the mayonnaise, vinegar, mustard, salt, pepper, chives, dill and parsley to the bowl. Using a fork, mix all ingredients until smooth.
step 3To keep the egg-white halves from rolling over, shave a small slice off the rounded bottom of the eggs and then place on serving platter (or in a large flat Ziploc® Brand Container with the Smart Snap® Seal, if refrigerating). Note: If you have a platter made especially for serving deviled eggs, there’s no need to shave the bottoms of the eggs.
step 4Place egg mixture into a Ziploc® Brand Slider Storage Bag with the Smart Zip™ Seal, press out extra air and zip closed. Refrigerate. When ready to fill the egg halves, use scissors to cut a 1/2-inch hole in the bag’s bottom corner. Pressing from the other end of the bag, squeeze the egg mixture out of the bag, filling each egg-white half. (As an alternative, you can spoon the mixture into each egg half.) Cover lightly with Saran™ Premium Wrap and chill until ready to serve.*
*Chef's Note:
To keep egg halves and filling from discoloring or drying out, do not store filled eggs for more than two hours in the refrigerator. You can store cooked egg whites in the fridge in water in a plastic container for up to one day; the egg-yolk mixture should be stored in a 1-quart Ziploc® Brand Slider Storage Bag with the Smart Zip™ Seal with the extra air pushed out. To enjoy these eggs at their freshest, fill right before serving. Once out of the fridge for more than two hours, deviled eggs will spoil rapidly and should be discarded to ensure safety.
