What To Serve With It
I love pairing deviled eggs with classic sides like crispy bacon or fresh salad, but sometimes I get creative and add them to a charcuterie board. They’re perfect alongside tangy pickles or even as a topping for savory sandwiches. Whatever you choose, deviled eggs make any meal feel special.
Classic Pairings
If you’re wondering what to serve alongside those delicious deviled eggs, you’ll be happy to know they pair beautifully with a variety of dishes. I love serving them with a simple green salad tossed in a tangy vinaigrette, which complements their creamy richness. A platter of fresh veggies with ranch dip or sliced fruit adds a revitalizing touch. For heartier meals, they go perfectly with grilled chicken, roasted ham, or even a classic potato salad. And let’s not forget crusty bread or crackers for some extra crunch. These pairings make any meal feel complete and satisfying!
Creative Combos
Beyond the classic pairings, there’s a world of fun and unique ways to serve deviled eggs. I love pairing them with crisp prosciutto-wrapped asparagus for a salty crunch or serving them alongside mini sliders for a hearty combo. For a fresh twist, I add a tangy Greek salad or avocado toast bites. If I’m feeling fancy, smoked salmon or crab salad elevates the meal. Don’t forget pickled veggies or a charcuterie board for a mix of flavors and textures. Deviled eggs shine with almost anything, so get creative and mix ’em up—you’ll find endless possibilities to impress your guests!
