You dyed eggs for Easter, now what? One of my favorite things to do with our dyed Easter eggs is to make deviled eggs with them. Personally, I’m not a fan of plain hardboiled eggs, but I do like deviled eggs!
Everyone has their favorite way to make deviled eggs. Personally, I like to keep it classic with the egg yolks mixed with Miracle Whip, yellow mustard, a splash of vinegar and sprinkled with paprika. There is always that great debate between Mayo or Miracle Whip. I grew up in the Michigan and we always had Miracle Whip. But I’m sure Mayo would be just fine too.
Looking to mix things up a little and try something different. While a classic deviled egg is great, here are 5 ways to take your classic recipe to the next level with these innovative ideas.
Deviled Eggs with Hummus
If you love hummus, you must try this swoon-worthy recipe that adds not only everyone’s favorite chickpea dip to the mix, but also feta cheese and Kalamata olives. Oh, my! The hard boiled egg whites are just a vehicle to get this awesomeness into your mouth as elegantly as possible. That said, you could also make the mixture or use any leftovers, sans egg whites, as an appetizer dip for a crudité platter. Deviled Eggs With Hummus, Feta And Olives by Foodness Gracious
NATURALLY DYED PICKLED DEVILED EGGS
If you’ve never dyed your peeled hard boiled eggs with beets, you simply must try this. The beet pickling juice is amazing and gives the egg whites not only a tinge of deep pink but adds a slightly sweet element to the otherwise bland egg whites. These need at least 24 hours in the fridge to marinate, so they can easily be made ahead. Try piping in your yolk mixture to make a prettier presentation with these ultra tasty deviled eggs. Garnish with just a smidge of fresh chopped chives. Gorgeous! Naturally Dyed Deviled Eggs by A Cozy Kitchen

For the final touch, add a top spear of a roasted asparagus stalk to each egg. See? Show stopper!
