Green Olive Deviled Eggs
As much as I love sweet, I’m almost tempted to say that I like salty even more. Which is probably one reason why I really, really love these Green Olive Deviled Eggs. They take your traditional deviled egg and give you a good dose of saltiness from the olives, and then a freshness from the herbs.
Of all the deviled egg recipes here on Taste and Tell, this deviled egg recipe might seem like the one that is a little bit more out there, but trust me when I say you need to try it. Especially if you love a bit of saltiness like I do!
Ingredients in these Green Olive Deviled Eggs
- Boiled Eggs – you can make these ahead of time! I don’t like peeling them and cutting them until I am ready to use them, though, but that is a personal preference.
- Green Olives with Pimento – these are super easy to find at any grocery store. Usually with the canned olives or with the Italian ingredients – these will come in a jar.
- Mayonnaise – a typical deviled egg ingredient.
- Mustard – you’ll need just your regular yellow mustard, although you could always swap in a dijon or grainy mustard.
- Pickle Relish – I usually just have sweet relish on hand. If you don’t like that bit of sweetness, make sure you use dill pickle relish, or chop up some dill pickle.
- Fresh Parsley – I really prefer the flat Italian parsley to the curly parsley, but either will work.
- Fresh Dill – fresh dill is one of my favorite herbs and is worth getting fresh. It is the perfect flavor for these eggs.
- Hot Sauce – any hot sauce that you love will work here.
- Salt and Pepper – I always encourage you to taste and then season. Sometimes you’ll need a lot, and sometimes you won’t.
Tools Used to Make these Green Olive Deviled Eggs
- You can traditionally boil your eggs, or I like to use my Instant Pot and pressure cook them.
- If I’m using a piping bag, I prefer to use a disposable piping bag.
- Also if you are using a piping bag and tip, make sure you use a tip that is large enough so that the olive pieces can easily go through.
