How Should One Decorate Deviled Eggs?

Deviled eggs are a popular party treat, and all you need is a carton of eggs and three ingredients: mayonnaise, mustard, salt, and pepper. To make these deviled eggs, fill the egg with a bag and use a decorating tip, similar to decorating a cake. Transfer the filling to a small plastic bag or piping bag fitted with a 1/2-inch tip. Pipe the filling evenly among the egg whites (about 1 heaping tablespoon per egg). For basic deviled eggs, add mayonnaise, mustard, salt, and pepper.

For more formal events, pipe the yolk mixture through an icing bag and decorative tip. For fancy deviled eggs, use a variety of toppings and garnishes. This celebratory appetizer is perfect for Easter, Thanksgiving, bridal showers, and more. Use a pastry bag with a piping tip for a beautiful presentation when filling your deviled eggs. The three tips most often used are the open star, closed star, and round (usually 3/8″ or 7/16″, depending on the filling and the size of the well).

When filling, use a disposable plastic pastry bag fitted with a decorative tip, such as a large star tip. Slide the tip into the bottom of the baggie and squeeze the filling into the whites. This method is easy and less messy to clean up after.

For a polished look, use a Wilton Cake Decorator with the 32 tip. Place the piping tip in the center of the egg and use it to create a polished appearance.
