What's your favorite ingredients for plain stuffed or deviled eggs?
I like them plain with mayonnaise, a little salt & white pepper with, maybe, just a tiny pinch of cayenne. All that other stuff, minced onion, pickle relish, mustard, etc., just hides the flavor of the egg but curious what other cooks use to make their stuffed eggs special.

I love this recipe. It's beautiful and tastes really delicious. You put whole hard boiled eggs in a food processor or blender and the flavor is just wonderful. I use the optional dill, but that's it.

I dont like eggs but my brother adds pepperoni to it.
I completely agree with you! Just a little mayo, salt and pepper works for me. If I want to get fancy I add in some cream cheese and garlic. I'm allergic to onions and I hate pickels so I can't eat the deviled eggs that most people make. I love making my own though!
A Salt, Pepper and Ranch Dressing, Sorry but I think that is much better than Mayo. And I love mayo

I used to do mine with mayo only also until a few months ago I found a delicious recipe! To the yolks I add neufshatel (sp?) cream cheese, a little mayo, a little sugar. It is devine and I won't go back to mayo alone anymore!
I like them with just a little mayo, salt & pepper to taste and a shot of Paprika .. thats it
Mustard, Mayo, Lemon Juice, Sweet Pickle Relish, topped with a little Paprika
I like a little bit of dry mustard in the mix.
I saw a chef on TV put lump crab meat in them once and that looked intriguing.
I grew up eating it made w/ dry mustard, mayo & sweet pickle relish, salt & pepper. You get the taste of the white w/ the enhanced taste of the yolk. I still make it like this b/c it's reminiscent of home. :)
Miracle Whip, Dijon mustard, a bit of dill relish. And my mom's secret...a capful of white vinegar. Then garnish with a green olive and paprika. (Although I use some black olives to make the platter pretty and for people who don't like green olives.)
Miracle Whip, yellow mustard and bacon bits.
paprika
I use miracle whip, a little mustard, and sometimes a little salt and pepper. Garnish with paprika.
Bacon bits, and just enough mayo to hold it together. Really Really good.
