You guys have no idea how happy I am to finally be sharing this recipe from Southern Style Deviled Eggs! It’s taken a while to make it happen because, in full disclosure, this is my husband’s recipe and we had to make it a few times for me to be able to write out and test to create the perfect written recipe! Our whole marriage he has always just made it by taste, not following a recipe!

A half dozen deviled eggs on a platter topped in paprika.

The secret ingredient is the apple-cider vinegar guys! Most people are beyond shocked when I tell them that I used apple cider vinegar in this recipe! One of the other differences is that a lot of deviled egg recipes use Mayo and this recipe calls for Miracle Whip!

Don’t forget to check out these other great appetizers I’ve shared or check out these other Deviled Egg Variations:

  • Shrimp Dip Platter
  • Chicken Bowtie Pasta Salad
  • Easy Bean Dip Appetizer
  • Balsamic Dressing Bruschetta

Now, without further ado! Here’s the recipe for Southern Style Deviled Eggs!!

HOW TO MAKE DEVILED EGGS

Ingredients Needed:

  • 8 Large Eggs
  • ½ cup Miracle Whip
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon Mustard
  • 1 tablespoon Apple Cider Vinegar
  • ½ teaspoon Salt
  • ¼ teaspoon Pepper
  • Paprika

Directions:

Cook the eggs in the Instant Pot for 7 mins. Release pressure manually (full directions below recipe post).

Immediately place hard hard-boiled eggs in ice water to cool for 10 minutes.

Peel the eggs carefully.

Cut the eggs in half, removing the yolk, and placing it in a bowl. Place the two egg halves on a plate or egg platter. If you plan on taking the deviled eggs to a dinner not being hosted at your house, then I love using the Egg Tray Carrying Tupperware.

A platter of empty hard boiled egg halves.

Combine the egg yolks, miracle whip, dijon mustard, apple cider vinegar, salt, and pepper. Start mixing it together using a fork. Once combined use a hand mixer to make the filling smooth. If needed, feel free to add a little more miracle whip and mustard to taste. You want the mixture to be smooth, but not at all runny.

Use a spoon or piping bag to fill the egg halves with the filling.

Top with Paprika and enjoy!

A platter of these Southern Style Deviled Eggs rarely lasts past the appetizer stage of a get-together! In fact, I usually double it!

Hope you love this recipe as much as me! It really is a game-changer of an appetizer! The platter rarely lasts until dinner is served, so it is served more as an appetizer at family parties!

I also quickly wanted to go over how I cook my hard-boiled eggs! If you guys have never made hard-boiled eggs in an Instant Pot, then you need to RUN and try this! It’s LIFE CHANGING! They peel like a dream!

INSTANT POT HARD BOILED EGGS

If you’ve followed me at all, then you know I love my Instant Pot! Make sure to check out my favorite Instant Pot Accessories!

An instant pot opened with eggs on a rack in the Instant Pot.

  1. Plug your Instant Pot in.
  2. Use Stackable Instant Pot Egg Steam Racks, so that you’re able to create two levels of eggs.
  3. Put one cup of water in the Instant Pot with your eggs.
  4. Put the lid on and make sure the vent is closed.
  5. Set the timer for 7 mins. I believe the Instant Pot defaults to 8 minutes when you press the egg button, but after literally 3-4 dozen times of making hardboiled eggs in the IP, our consensus is that 7 minutes is the perfect time!
  6. When the timer goes off, manually open the valve so the Instant Pot can release the pressure.
  7. Once you are able to open the lid, immediately put the eggs in an ice water bath in the sink or in a bowl. Allow them to cool for about 5-10 minutes and then peel them.
I hope you guys enjoy these Southern Style Deviled Eggs as much as we do!

    My family has always made deviled eggs with Miracle Whip and Apple Cider Vinegar like this. My only suggestion is to mix the wet ingredients together before adding in the yolks. I too do it by taste and that way, they don’t get too runny by accidentally adding too much wet to the yolks!
