Ranch Deviled Eggs

Ingredient Notes
Ingredient used for Ranch Deviled Eggs.
Boiled Eggs: You’ll want to make sure your eggs are hard boiled. For more instructions on that, check out our guide on how to boil eggs, If you’re really short on time, you can use store-bought hard boiled eggs, but we recommend boiling them yourself for the best texture.
Mayonnaise: This gives the filling the ultimate creaminess, so make sure to not skimp on this ingredient! We recommend using a neutral-flavored mayo which makes the store brand the best option.
Dry Ranch Seasoning: Look for it in the salad dressing aisle of your grocery store or make your own.
Dijon Mustard: You can use regular, smooth dijon mustard or whole grain for added texture.
Chives (optional): Fresh chives add a pop of color and mild onion flavor.

For everything you need to know about boiling eggs, check out our how to boil eggs guide! With deviled eggs, you’ll want a nice hard-boiled egg, but try to avoid an overcooked egg since that can turn the yolk gray. For creamy yolks without a gray/green ring, aim for 10 minutes of boiling.

Easy to Peel Eggs
We’re all on the quest for easy-to-peel eggs so here’s a quick rundown of the 5 best tips and tricks we’ve got up our sleeves without going into detail overload.

Use Older Eggs: If possible, use eggs that are at least 7–10 days old. It has to do with the pH of the eggs.

Shock in Ice Water: As soon as the eggs are done cooking, transfer them to an ice bath (a bowl of ice water) and let them sit for at least 5 minutes. It has to do with making the eggs contract from the shell.

Try Steaming: Instead of boiling your eggs, steam for 12–14. Simply place eggs in a steamer basket over boiling water, cover, and let them steam before transferring to an ice bath.

Add Baking Soda or Vinegar: Adding ½ teaspoon of baking soda or a splash of vinegar to the boiling water helps. Once again, it has to do with the pH of the eggs.

Crack and Roll: Once cooled, gently tap the egg on a hard surface to create small cracks all over, then roll it between your hands. This loosens the shell, making it easier to peel in larger pieces.
