Tips for the Best Deviled Eggs
- Don’t skip the ice bath. It makes peeling eggs way easier and keeps the yolks from overcooking.
- Use real ranch. A thick, creamy ranch dressing works best—not a watery version.
- Customize the cheese. Want to switch it up? Try pepper jack or smoked gouda for a fun twist.
- Piping = pro presentation. If you want that classic swirl, use a piping bag fitted with a star tip.
