Ingredients & Substitutions
These creamy dill pickle deviled eggs use simple ingredients but pack in so much flavor. Between the dill pickle juice, creamy dip, and crunchy toppings, every bite tastes bright, tangy, and seriously addictive.
- Boiled Eggs: Older eggs tend to peel easier than super fresh eggs, making the cooking process much less frustrating. You'll want perfectly cooked eggs with bright yellow egg yolks and tender egg whites.
- Leftover Grillo's Pickle Brine: This optional soak gives the eggs an even bigger dill pickle flavor. The leftover brine adds extra tang and makes these especially delicious for pickle lovers.
- Heluva Good! Grillo's Dill Pickle Dip: This replaces creamy mayo or sour cream in the filling and adds tons of tangy pickle flavor without needing a bunch of extra ingredients.
- Grainy Mustard: Adds a little sharpness and texture to the yolk mixture. You can also use dijon mustard or dill pickle mustard if that's what you have on hand.
- Dill Pickle Brine: A small amount mixed into the filling helps loosen everything up while adding even more pickle flavor.
- Dill Pickle Potato Chips: The crispy topping adds the perfect little crunch to each egg half.
- Grillo's Dill Pickle: Finely minced pickles add texture, acidity, and extra pickle goodness.
- Fresh Dill: Optional, but fresh dill makes these feel extra fresh and pretty on a serving platter.
How to Make It
This deviled egg recipe comes together super quickly once your cooked eggs are ready. You can prep the eggs ahead of time, keep them chilled in cold water or an ice bath, and assemble everything right before serving.
- BOIL THE EGGS: Add eggs to a large saucepan and cover with cold water. Bring to a full rolling boil over high heat, then remove from heat, cover, and let sit according to your preferred cook time. Transfer immediately to ice water or an ice bath to stop the cooking process. Dry with paper towels before peeling.
- OPTIONAL PICKLE SOAK: Place eggs in leftover brine and refrigerate for at least 3 hours. This step gives the egg whites an extra tangy pickle flavor that's honestly so good.
- SLICE THE EGGS: Cut the eggs in half long ways and carefully remove the egg yolks. Arrange the egg whites on a serving platter.
- MAKE THE FILLING: Add the egg yolks to a medium bowl with the Heluva Good! Grillo's Dill Pickle Dip, mustard, and dill pickle juice. Mash until creamy and mostly smooth.
- PIPE THE FILLING: Transfer the yolk mixture to a piping bag or zip-top bag with the corner snipped. Pipe into each egg half.
- ADD THE TOPPINGS: Top with finely minced chopped pickles, crushed dill pickle potato chips, fresh dill, and black pepper if desired.
- SERVE: Serve chilled with extra chips and more dip on the side for dunking.
- WHAT TO SERVE IT WITH: These are amazing with burgers, hot dogs, sandwiches, dill pickle pasta salad, pickle de gallo, or any snacky appetizer spread.
- SAVE: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
