My 2-Ingredient Deviled Eggs aren’t just for Easter—they’re a simple, high-protein snack you can enjoy all year long! Seriously, these are some of the easiest deviled eggs you’ll ever make. All you need are eggs and your favorite flavored mayo. That’s it!
Serve them as a quick appetizer, a light lunch, or a fun party snack. However you enjoy them, I know you’re going to love how easy and tasty they are.

🥚 2-Ingredient Deviled Eggs Recipe
Here’s what you need to make two ingredient deviled eggs:
- 6 large hard-boiled eggs (boil eggs for 9-10 minutes and let them cool)
- 3 tablespoons chipotle lime mayo (from the store or try my vegan chipotle mayo recipe)
- Salt and black pepper (optional)
- Finely chopped chives and paprika (for sprinkling on top, optional)

Slightly older eggs are ideal for hard-boiled eggs because they peel more easily. Not sure how old your eggs are? Try this water test:
- Fresh eggs sink and lie flat on the bottom of a bowl of water.
- Older eggs will stand upright in the water—those are perfect for deviled eggs (and a great way to use them before they spoil).
You can easily switch up the flavor by using a different mayo. Buffalo mayo, sriracha mayo, or any flavored mayo you love will work great here.
How to Make Deviled Eggs
Peel the hard-boiled eggs and cut them in half lengthwise. Gently remove the yolks—if they stick, use a spoon to help release them.
Mash the yolks with a fork until smooth. Stir in the mayo (and salt and pepper, if using) until well combined.
Arrange the egg white halves on a plate, cut side up. Fill each one with the yolk mixture using a spoon or by piping it in.
Garnish with optional chives and paprika. Serve and enjoy!
How long do deviled eggs last?
Store deviled eggs in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days. After that, the filling tends to dry out. I don’t recommend freezing them.
Need to use them up quickly? Mash the leftovers into a tasty egg salad.
If you plan to top your deviled eggs with extras like bacon, parsley, dill, or fresh herbs—add those just before serving for best results.

This looks great. Gonna make some today. Never used Cider vinegar before. However, I think the fat should be 12.5g , 1/4 cup is 12 tbsp = 1tbsp per egg half, since the recipe uses 6 eggs. Which is a bonus for Keto 😀 (13.5 with Hellman’s real mayo vs avocado oil mayo….)
Hi, Karen! Thank you! I’m a little unclear about your calculations. There are 4 tablespoons in 1/4 cup or 12 teaspoons. I only used 3 tablespoons of mayo in the recipe, or 1 tablespoon per 4 egg halves. Each serving of the recipe contains 2 large eggs (4.5 grams fat per egg in my persnickety nutrition calculator or 9 grams total) and 1 tablespoon mayo (11 grams fat). This is how I got to 20 grams. Eggs are often listed as 5 grams fat per egg, so fat calculation would look a slightly different in that case (21 g fat per serving).
