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. 

  • Use a small spoon to scoop a tablespoon of filling into the egg white. 
  • If needed, smooth the filling out with the back of the spoon. 
  • 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. 

  • Transfer the filling into the zip bag, and press it to one corner of the bag. 
  • Use scissors to cut a small hole in the corner and pipe the filling into each egg white. 
  • 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!  

  • Place the piping tip into the open corner of the pastry bag.
  • Transfer the prepared filling into the pastry bag. 
  • 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.
