What To Serve With It
I love serving my deviled eggs with classic pairings like crispy bacon or fresh veggies, but sometimes I get creative and try fun sides like spicy pickles or cheesy crackers. It’s all about balancing flavors and textures, so don’t be afraid to mix and match. Trust me, a little experimentation can turn these tasty bites into the star of any spread.
Classic Pairing Ideas
When I’m whipping up a batch of deviled eggs, I always think about what’ll make the whole spread feel complete. Classic pairings like crispy bacon, fresh veggies, and crusty bread go a long way. I love adding a bowl of tangy coleslaw or a simple green salad for balance. For heartier options, roasted chicken or grilled ham are crowd-pleasers. A platter of cheese and crackers adds a nice touch, while pickles or olives bring a salty bite. These pairings let the deviled eggs shine while creating a well-rounded meal that’s both familiar and comforting.
Creative Side Dishes
Though deviled eggs are delicious on their own, pairing them with creative sides can turn a simple snack into a memorable spread. I love adding a crisp, tangy coleslaw or roasted vegetables like asparagus or carrots for a fresh touch. For a heartier option, I’ll whip up mini sliders or creamy potato salad. If I’m feeling fancy, I’ll serve them with prosciutto-wrapped melon or bruschetta topped with tomatoes and basil. A charcuterie board with cheeses, olives, and crackers also works beautifully. These sides not only balance the richness of the eggs but also make the meal feel more complete and fun to share.
