What Are Angel Eggs, Anyway?

Samad: Okay, let’s clear this up for folks who are thinking, “Wait, angel eggs? Aren’t these deviled eggs?”

Lina: Yup! Same base idea boiled eggs filled with a creamy, seasoned yolk mixture but we like to call them angel eggs because they’re a little sweeter, a little gentler… and way more fun for family gatherings.

Samad: Plus, calling them angel eggs makes Grandma smile. And hey, they’re perfect for Easter, baby showers, or a good ol’ potluck in the Midwest.

Ingredients You’ll Need (Simple & Classic)

Lina: Alright, let’s talk ingredients. You probably have most of this already.

Ingredients

• 6 large eggs
• 3 tbsp mayo
• 1 tsp yellow mustard
• 1 tsp sweet pickle relish
• Salt & pepper, to taste
• Paprika (optional, for topping)
• Chopped fresh chives (optional garnish)

Samad: Pro tip? If you want ‘em a touch sweeter, add a tiny pinch of sugar. Just a pinch! It makes a difference.

How to Make Angel Eggs Step-by-Step

Boil Those Eggs Like a Pro

Samad: Cover the eggs with water in a saucepan. Bring to a boil, then cover and remove from heat. Let them sit for 10–12 minutes. That’s the sweet spot.
Lina: Then run them under cold water or drop them into an ice bath. Trust me, that peel will slide right off. No more egg rage!

Make the Filling

Lina: Slice the eggs in half, lengthwise. Pop those yolks into a bowl and mash ’em with a fork.
Samad: Add mayo, mustard, and sweet pickle relish. Stir until smooth. Add salt and pepper to taste.
Lina: If you like it creamier, go ahead and add a tiny splash of cream or more mayo. We won’t judge.

Fill and Finish

Samad: Spoon or pipe the filling into the egg whites.
Lina: I use a ziplock bag with the corner snipped off instant piping bag!
Samad: Sprinkle with paprika and chives if you’re feeling fancy.

Why Angel Eggs Are Perfect for U.S. Families

Lina: These are made for busy American families make ‘em ahead, keep ‘em chilled, and bring them out when guests roll in.

Samad: They’re budget-friendly, gluten-free, and kid-approved.
Lina: Plus, they look way more impressive than the 15 minutes it took to make them.

Lina’s Tips for Next-Level Angel Eggs

• Want them tangier? Add a splash of apple cider vinegar.
• Want them fancy? Top with crispy bacon bits or pickled jalapeño slices.
• Hosting a crowd? Double the recipe. Trust us.

Dietary Notes
