Nutrition

Deviled eggs are a protein-rich appetizer, but their nutritional content can vary based on ingredients. Below is a general breakdown per serving (one deviled egg half):

What To Serve With It

I love pairing deviled eggs with a fresh salad, like a crisp garden mix or a tangy Caesar, to balance their creamy richness. A slice of crunchy bread, such as a baguette or sourdough, adds a satisfying texture that complements the dish perfectly. These simple sides make the meal feel complete without taking away from the star of the show.

Fresh Salad Pairings

Pairing deviled eggs with a fresh salad can turn a simple appetizer into a satisfying meal. I love how the creamy richness of the eggs balances with crisp, fresh ingredient combinations—think peppery arugula, juicy cherry tomatoes, or crunchy cucumbers. Seasonal vegetable options like roasted beets in winter or sweet corn in summer keep things exciting. A light vinaigrette ties it all together without overpowering the eggs. Sometimes, I’ll toss in fresh herbs like dill or chives for extra flavor. It’s an easy way to add color, texture, and nutrients, making the dish feel complete without much effort.

Crunchy Bread Options

Nothing beats the satisfying crunch of fresh bread alongside creamy deviled eggs—it’s the perfect contrast in textures. I love slicing a toasted baguette into thin pieces, so it’s easy to dip or spread the eggs onto. The golden, crispy edges add a rustic touch that feels both fancy and simple. Crunchy crackers are another go-to for me; they’re light but sturdy enough to hold up the filling. I’ll sometimes grab a mix of seeded or whole grain ones for extra flavor. Either way, these options make every bite a little more exciting, and they’re always a hit.
