These creamy dill deviled eggs are a fresh twist on a classic appetizer, combining smooth cream cheese, tangy mayo, and bright fresh dill for a flavorful and easy-to-make bite perfect for any occasion.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 large eggs
  • 3 tablespoons mayonnaise
  • 2 tablespoons cream cheese, softened
  • 2 tablespoons fresh dill, finely chopped
  • 1 teaspoon yellow mustard
  • 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • Smoked paprika (for garnish, optional)

Instructions

  1. Place 6 large eggs in a single layer in a pot. Cover with cold water by about an inch. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat (about 10 minutes). Once boiling, turn off the heat, cover the pot, and let eggs sit for 10-12 minutes.
  2. Transfer eggs immediately to a bowl of ice water and let chill for 5-10 minutes. Gently tap and roll each egg on the counter to crack, then peel under running water to remove shells smoothly.
  3. Slice peeled eggs in half lengthwise. Carefully scoop out yolks into a medium bowl. Use a fork to mash yolks until smooth and crumb-free.
  4. Add 3 tablespoons mayo, 2 tablespoons softened cream cheese, 1 teaspoon yellow mustard, 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice, and 2 tablespoons finely chopped dill to the mashed yolks. Stir until creamy and well combined. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  5. Using a spoon or piping bag, fill each egg white half with the creamy yolk mixture, forming a generous mound.
  6. Lightly dust filled eggs with smoked paprika and add a tiny sprig of dill if desired. Chill for at least 15 minutes before serving.

Notes

If the filling is too thick, add a splash of milk or more mayo for smoother texture. Use fresh dill for best flavor; dried dill can be substituted at 1 teaspoon. Prepare up to 24 hours ahead and add paprika garnish just before serving. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days.
