How to Fill Deviled Eggs with and Without a Pastry Bag

When it comes to appetizers, deviled eggs are a main attraction, and if this is your first time making them, I’m here to assure you pastry bags aren’t necessary.

You can complete the task with a spoon or simple zip bag, and below, you’ll find step-by-step directions for each method:

1. With a Spoon

This is the most basic method for filling deviled eggs, and when done correctly, it creates an appetizing presentation for your guests to enjoy. 

  1. Use a small spoon to scoop a tablespoon of filling into the egg white. 
  2. If needed, smooth the filling out with the back of the spoon. 
  3. Sprinkle the tops of the eggs with a dash of paprika or chopped chives.  

2. With a Zip Bag

If you want to go the piping route but don’t have the necessary items, use a zip bag instead! It provides a clean look and requires less clean-up. 

  1. Transfer the filling into the zip bag, and press it to one corner of the bag. 
  2. Use scissors to cut a small hole in the corner and pipe the filling into each egg white. 
  3. Garnish as desired, and enjoy!

3. Using a Pastry Bag

If you have a pastry bag, this method is worth mentioning. It’s an easy way to give the deviled eggs a polished look, and if you want to get decorative, use the starred piping tip!  

  1. Place the piping tip into the open corner of the pastry bag.
  2. Transfer the prepared filling into the pastry bag. 
  3. Carefully pipe the filling into the egg white and garnish with paprika or chives. 

Once they are filled and ready, you can learn how to store deviled eggs until you’re ready to serve here.
