  • Apple Cider Vinegar: This is a classic replacement. A teaspoon of apple cider vinegar adds a touch of acidity without the mustard bite.
  • Pickle Juice: For a bolder, briny flavor, try a splash of pickle juice. This pairs especially well with a bit of chopped relish.
  • Hot Sauce: Feeling feisty? A dash of your favorite hot sauce will add a kick and a touch of vinegar. Opt for a vinegar-based hot sauce for a more balanced flavor.
  • Swap: You can swap miracle whip with the mayonnaise and vinegar in this easy recipe.

Special Equipment Needed to Make this Recipe

  • Piping Bags: Make the eggs fancy by using the bag fitted with a large star tip.

Pro Tip

If you have no piping bag a favorite way is to place the egg mixture into a plastic bag and cut off a tip and use to pipe into the egg half.

Recipe FAQs for Deviled Eggs with No Mustard

  • Store immediately: Once you’ve filled your egg whites, place them in the refrigerator right away. This minimizes bacteria growth. They should last in the fridge for 5 days.
  • Airtight container: Place eggs in a single layer in an airtight container or cover the eggs securely with plastic wrap to prevent them from drying out or absorbing fridge odors.

Classic deviled eggs can only sit out at a party for a maximum of 2 hours. This is because they enter what the USDA calls the “Danger Zone” where bacteria growth accelerates rapidly.

  • Older eggs tend to peel easier. If you have time, store your easy peel eggs in the fridge for a few days before boiling. Submerge into an ice bath to stop the cooking process and make them easier to peel.
  • Once chilled, peel the eggs under running cold water. The water helps to loosen the membrane between the egg white and the shell.
  • You can also gently crack the shell all over before peeling for an easier time.
