Deviled Eggs with Pickles are a creamy, tangy twist on classic deviled eggs made with chopped dill pickles and pickle juice mixed right into the filling. They’re an easy appetizer with plenty of pickle flavor in every bite.
The pickles give these deviled eggs just the right amount of crunch and tang without overpowering the creamy filling. I also like adding a little pickle juice because it brings even more flavor without needing a long list of ingredients.
Why I Love This Recipe
About the Ingredients ⭐
- Eggs: Large hard-boiled eggs are the base of the recipe. Make sure they’re completely cooled before peeling and filling.
- Mayonnaise: Makes the yolk filling smooth and creamy.
- Dijon Mustard: Adds a little tang and extra flavor to the filling.
- Dill Pickle Brine: This is where we get even more pickle flavor without adding extra chopped pickles.
- Dill Pickles: Finely chop them so you get a little crunch and tang in every bite.
- Fresh Dill: Adds fresh dill flavor that works perfectly with the pickles. Save a little for garnish.
- Garlic Powder: Just a small amount adds savory flavor to the filling.
- Salt & Black Pepper: Add to taste after mixing the filling since the pickles and brine already contain salt.
- Paprika: Optional, but a light sprinkle gives the finished deviled eggs that classic look.

How To Make Deviled Eggs with Pickles
- Slice the hard-boiled eggs in half lengthwise, then carefully scoop the yolks into a bowl. Arrange the egg whites on a serving plate.
- Mash the yolks with a fork until smooth.
- Add mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, dill pickle brine, chopped dill pickles, fresh dill, and garlic powder to the mashed yolks. Mix well until creamy. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Using a piping bag or a small spoon, fill the egg whites with the yolk mixture, dividing it evenly.
- Garnish each filled egg with a sprinkle of paprika and a bit of fresh dill, if desired.
- Chill the deviled eggs in the refrigerator for at least 15 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld.
Tips I Found Helpful
- Cool the eggs completely: Chilled hard-boiled eggs are easier to handle when you’re slicing and filling them.
- Mash the yolks well: I mash the yolks until they’re fine before adding the mayonnaise and other ingredients for a smoother filling.
- Chop the pickles finely: Small pieces give you pickle flavor and crunch without making the filling difficult to spoon or pipe.
- Add salt last: The pickle brine and dill pickles already add saltiness, so taste the filling before adding extra salt.
- Don’t overdo the brine: Too much pickle juice can make the filling thin, so I stick with the amount in the recipe and adjust only if needed.
- Chill before serving: Refrigerating the finished deviled eggs gives the flavors time to come together and keeps them nice and cold.
- Garnish right before serving: Add the fresh dill and paprika at the end so the deviled eggs look fresh and pretty. 🥒🥚💙
