Description

Creamy, tangy, and perfectly Southern — these Instant Pot deviled eggs use foolproof, easy-to-peel pressure-cooked eggs and a classic relish-and-mustard filling. The easiest crowd-pleasing appetizer you'll make.

Ingredients 

  • 6 large eggs, hard-boiled, per directions
  • 3 tablespoons mayonnaise
  • 1 ½ tablespoons sweet pickle relish
  • 1 teaspoon yellow mustard
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • ½ teaspoon paprika, for garnish
  • 12 sweet gherkins, for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  • Add water. Pour 1 cup of water into the Instant Pot insert and place the trivet inside.
  • Add eggs. Arrange the eggs in a single layer on the trivet.
  • Pressure cook. Lock the lid, set the valve to Sealing, and cook on high pressure for 5 minutes.
  • Release and chill. Do a quick release, then immediately transfer the eggs to an ice-water bath and chill for at least 5 minutes.
  • Prep the yolks. Peel the eggs and slice them in half lengthwise. Scoop the yolks into a bowl and mash well with a fork.
  • Make the filling. Add the mayonnaise, mustard, relish, salt, and pepper. Stir until smooth and creamy.
  • Pipe. Transfer the filling to a piping bag and pipe it into the egg-white halves.
  • Garnish. Dust with paprika and top each with a slice of sweet gherkin. Chill until ready to serve.
  • Serve and enjoy!

Equipment

  • Instant Pot
  • Large Mixing Bowl

Notes

  • For the easiest peeling and creamiest yolks, use the 5-5-5 method: 5 minutes high pressure, 5 minutes natural release, 5 minutes in an ice bath. See my full Instant Pot No-Peel Hard-Boiled Eggs guide for details.
  • Make ahead by storing the egg whites and filling separately, then pipe and garnish just before serving.
  • Add the paprika right before serving to keep its color vibrant.
