What To Serve With It
When I’m serving deviled eggs, I always think about what pairs well with their rich, creamy flavor. A crisp green salad with tangy vinaigrette balances the richness, while crunchy pickles or olives add a salty bite.
For heartier meals, I love pairing them with grilled chicken or smoky barbecue ribs. If it’s a picnic, I’ll add fresh fruit or a charcuterie board for variety.
And don’t forget crusty bread or crackers—they’re perfect for scooping up any leftover filling. No matter what you choose, keep it simple so the deviled eggs stay the star of the show!
