These bloody mary eggs make for an eye-catching and delicious appetizer that is perfect for parties, holidays like Thanksgiving, Valentine’s Day, or game day gatherings. The recipe is quick and easy to prepare. Make certain components like the boiled eggs and filling mixture in advance. Here’s how to make the bloody deviled eggs:
Bloody Mary Deviled Eggs
Ingredients
- 6 large eggs
- 2 tbsb mayonnaise
- 1 tbsb tomato paste or ketchup
- 1 tsp Dijon mustard
- 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tsp hot sauce like Tabasco, adjust to taste
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Paprika or celery salt optional, for garnish
Instructions
- Place the eggs in a saucepan and cover with cold water. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and simmer for 10 minutes. Remove from heat, drain, and transfer eggs to a bowl of ice water to cool completely.
- Once the eggs are cool, peel them and cut them in half lengthwise. Carefully remove the yolks and place them in a separate bowl. Mash the yolks with a fork until smooth.
- To the mashed yolks, add mayonnaise, tomato paste or ketchup, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, hot sauce, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined and smooth. Adjust seasoning to taste.
- Spoon or pipe the yolk mixture back into the egg white halves, dividing evenly.
- Sprinkle with paprika or celery salt if desired. Serve immediately, or refrigerate until ready to serve.
