This recipe starts off with, you guessed it, hard-boiled eggs. Eggs are a healthy part of a low-carb diet. Eggs are loaded with nutrients, vitamins, minerals, protein, and healthy fats. The fat and protein in eggs will help you feel fuller longer, making it easier for you to resist sugary snacks. My keto deviled eggs recipe is one of the ideal low carb recipes to serve to a crowd.

Ingredients

Eggs - You want hard boiled eggs that have been peeled and halved.

Sour cream - I like using sour cream in the dressing but you can use mayo if you prefer or a combination of the two.

Dijon mustard - A bit of mustard gives these a nice tang.

Salt and black pepper - You can season the filling to your taste preferences.

Cheddar cheese - Feel free to use the shredded cheese of your choice.

Bacon - Crisp, crumbled bacon gives these a wonderful crunch and flavor.

Chives - Fresh chives work best but in a pinch, you can use the green top of a green onion instead.

How to Make Keto Deviled Eggs

Step One: Cook and peel the eggs.

Step Two: Cut the eggs in half. Remove the yolks to a bowl. Mash the yolks with the dressing ingredients.

Step Three: Fill the halved eggs with the mashed egg yolk mixture. Garnish with cheese, bacon, and chives.

Variations

You can really flavor bacon deviled eggs with anything.

Spicy - For a kick add a little chipotle puree.

Tangy - For a zing how about a tiny bit of lime zest or a dash of apple cider vinegar to the dressing.

Smoky - For a hint of smokey flavor sprinkle the tops with smoked paprika.

Keto deviled egg salad - Just mash up the whole eggs and add the rest of the ingredients for an amazing egg salad.

Common Questions

Are deviled eggs keto?

Most homemade deviled eggs are keto. Just watch for added sugar in the mayonnaise or dressing used. Store-bought deviled eggs are even more likely to have added sugar.

What is the easiest way to make Hard Boiled Eggs?

Over the years, I’ve tried so many ways to hard-boil eggs. I’ve tried starting eggs in cold water, starting eggs in boiling water, adding vinegar to the pot, even piercing the eggshells with a pin. But my favorite way to hard boil eggs -- hands down -- is in my Instant Pot. If you have an Instant Pot and want to learn the method for perfect hard-boiled eggs, check out this post: Instant Pot Boiled Eggs. You’ll get easy-to-peel eggs with tender whites and creamy yolks, every time.

You can also make great, easy-to-peel, hard-boiled eggs on the stove. I like to use the hot-start method to make stovetop hard-boiled eggs. To do this, you’ll first bring a large pot of water up to a rolling boil on high heat. Then, once the water is boiling, add the eggs. I like to do this with tongs or a slotted spoon to avoid any splashing water. Simmer the eggs for 12 minutes, and after they have cooked, take the pot off the heat and immediately transfer the eggs to an ice bath.

And there you go  -- peel the eggs and you're ready to start making Keto Deviled Eggs.

Can I Make Deviled Eggs with Dyed Easter Eggs?

Of course! We do this after Easter every year. Don't be alarmed if the white portion is a bit more colorful than normal but as long as you didn't leave your hardboiled Easter eggs out of the fridge for more than a couple of hours they are fine to eat.

An Easy Way to Fill Deviled Eggs

A small spoon works quite well to scoop the egg yolk filling into the white part of the egg halves. I've also seen success using a small cookie scoop to fill the whites.

For party-perfect Keto Deviled Eggs, you can also use a piping bag to pipe the filling into the egg whites. You don't even need a real piping bag — just scoop the filling into a zip-top plastic bag, squeeze the filling into a corner, and snip off the corner of the bag. It's a lot easier to do than it may seem and less messy!

How do I store Deviled Eggs?

If you are making these Keto Deviled Eggs for a party appetizer, you might be wondering if you can make them ahead of time and if they can stay safely stored in your refrigerator. Well, you're in luck -- you can make these deviled eggs up to 1-2 days in advance and store them in a sealed container until you are ready to serve them. For best results, I like to keep the whites and the filling separate. I keep the egg yolk filling sealed in a resealable plastic bag, and fill the egg whites when I'm ready to serve them.

In addition, unpeeled hard-boiled eggs (still in the shell) can be refrigerated up to one week. Peeled hard-boiled eggs can also be stored in the refrigerator in a sealed container for one week.

Here's an important food safety note: Deviled eggs, like any egg recipe, should only be stored a maximum of 2 hours at room temperature.
