Why You'll Love This Recipe
- Quick And Easy: These deviled eggs come together in no time, making them perfect for last-minute get-togethers or meal prep.
- Naturally Gluten And Dairy-Free: Perfect for those with dietary restrictions. This recipe is naturally gluten-free and dairy-free.
- Crowd Pleaser: Whether it's a holiday, BBQ, or casual dinner, deviled eggs are always a great choice!
Ingredients
- Eggs: Eggs are the star of the show! They provide the creamy filling as well as the vessel for serving. When shopping, look for organic pasture raised eggs.
- Mayonnaise: Mayo helps add to the creaminess and also helps bind the egg yolk. I recommend using an avocado oil based mayonnaise, like Chosen Foods or Primal Kitchen. Both of these brands avoid using overly processed seed oils.
- Dijon Mustard: I love using Dijon mustard as it adds an extra pop of flavor and zing to the egg mixture. You can use plain yellow mustard if that's what you have on hand.
- Apple Cider Vinegar: In my opinion, the best deviled eggs have a tangy flavor! That's where the apple cider vinegar comes in!
- Sea Salt And Pepper: These basic seasonings help bring all the flavors together. Look for a pink Himalayan sea salt like Redmond's Real Salt.
- Paprika: A sprinkle of paprika for garnish! It adds a hint of smoky flavor and a pop of color.
- Chives: I love topping the eggs with a little bit of fresh chives for a mild onion flavor.

Substitutions And Variations
- Mayonnaise: You can cut the mayo in half and add Greek yogurt or mashed ripe avocado.
- Vinegar: If you don't have apple cider vinegar on hand, you can use white vinegar or substitute with a squeeze of lemon juice instead.
- Add-Ins: For a flavor twist, try adding in sweet pickle relish, garlic powder, or chili powder to the egg yolk mixture.
- Toppings: You can experiment with toppings like fresh dill, fresh parsley, chopped smoked bacon, a drizzle of truffle oil or hot sauce.
How To Make Gluten Free Deviled Eggs
This is an overview with step-by-step photos. Full ingredients & instructions are in the recipe card below.
Step 1. Bring a saucepan of cold water to a rolling boil. Once boiling, gently add the eggs and reduce to a simmer. Boil the eggs for 12 minutes.
Step 2. Remove the eggs from the saucepan and place them in a bowl of ice water for 1-2 minutes to stop the cooking process.
Step 3. Peel the hard-boiled eggs and use a sharp knife to cut them lengthwise. Using a small spoon, carefully scoop out the yolks, placing them in a small bowl and set aside. Arrange the egg whites in a single layer on a serving platter.
Step 4. Add the egg yolks, mayonnaise, dijon mustard, apple cider vinegar, salt, and pepper into the base of a food processor. Pulse a few times until the mixture is smooth.

Expert Tips And Notes
- Peeling The Eggs: It can be more difficult to peel the eggs if they sit for too long in the ice bath. For best results, allow the hard boiled eggs to only sit for 1-2 minutes in the cool water.
- Clean Your Knife: Use a paper towel to wipe down your knife between each egg slice to ensure clean cuts every time.
- Fancy Presentation: If you want to make these extra fancy, you can pipe the filling into the egg white cavities by using a piping bag.
- Don't Overcook: Overcooked eggs can turn the yolks green and make the filling dry. Stick to 10-12 minutes of cooking.
Serving Suggestions For Dairy Free Deviled Eggs
- Toppings: Add a sprinkle of crispy bacon, Traeger smoked salmon, or finely chopped butter pickles for extra flavor.
- Appetizers: Round out your table with other appetizers like prosciutto wrapped dates with goat cheese, smoked cream cheese, or Arabic hummus.
- Main Dishes: Serve as an appetizer to go with smoked burgers, smoked hot dogs, or tuna caesar salad.
