Football Deviled Eggs Recipe:
Ingredients:
- 12 eggs boiled
- ⅓ cup mayonnaise
- 2 Tablespoons yellow mustard
- fresh chives
- salt
- black pepper
Equipment Needed:
- Egg Cooker, optional or See our post on “How to cook a perfectly boiled Egg“
- Small Mixing Bowl
- Dinner Fork, to mash the yolks
- Piping Bag, optional
- Herb Scissors or kitchen shears
Recipe Variations
1. Bacon-Loaded Football Deviled Eggs
Add a smoky, savory crunch to the classic!
- After mashing your yolks with the mayo, yellow mustard, salt, and pepper, stir in ¼ cup finely crumbled cooked bacon (reserve a little extra for topping).
- Pipe or spoon the filling into the whites, sprinkle a bit more crumbled bacon on top, then add your chive laces for that football look.
The bacon gives a rich, meaty twist that pairs perfectly with game-day vibes—your crowd will be fighting over these!
2. Spicy Jalapeño Football Deviled Eggs
Turn up the heat for a bold kick!
- To your yolk mixture (mayo, mustard, salt, pepper), add 1-2 finely diced fresh or pickled jalapeños (start with 1 for milder heat) and a dash of hot sauce or cayenne if you like it extra fiery.
- Mix until creamy, fill the egg whites, and finish with the chive laces.
These zesty little footballs bring a fun spicy edge—great for fans who love a little fire on game day!
3. Cheesy Ranch Football Deviled Eggs
Go creamy and herby with a ranch-inspired upgrade!
- Swap or mix in 1-2 Tbsp ranch dressing with the mayo (reduce mayo slightly if needed), add a pinch of garlic powder and dried dill or fresh chopped herbs.
- For extra cheesiness, stir in 2 Tbsp finely grated cheddar or top with a sprinkle before adding the chive laces.
This version is ultra-smooth and crowd-pleasing—perfect when you want something comforting and familiar with a fun football twist!
All three keep the adorable chive lacing so they still look like mini footballs on your platter. Mix and match, or make a few of each for variety—your Super Bowl guests will love the options!
How to make Football Deviled Eggs
Instructions:
- Start by cooking your eggs to hard-boiled perfection. (Pro tip: An egg cooker makes this a total breeze—no guesswork, just perfect results every time!)
- Once they’re cooled, peel the eggs carefully and slice each one in half lengthwise.
- Gently remove the yolks and place them in a small bowl.
- Add mayonnaise, yellow mustard, salt, and pepper to the yolks.
- Using a dinner fork, mash the yolks thoroughly and mix everything until smooth and creamy.
- Spoon the creamy yolk mixture back into the egg white halves (or level up with a cake decorator/piping bag for that pretty, professional look!).
- Finally, using herb scissors or kitchen shears, cut fresh chives into small pieces and arrange them on top to create those classic football “laces”—just a few straight lines and some cross stitches for the authentic touch!
Now you’ve got the ultimate easy, fun, and delicious twist on a classic: Football Deviled Eggs! These aren’t your everyday deviled eggs—cleverly decorated with chive “laces” to look like mini footballs, they’re guaranteed to be the MVP at your next football-themed bash or Super Bowl party.
For an extra wow factor, arrange them on a big tray surrounded by olives and an assortment of cheeses for a stunning game-day platter. Or let them shine as the centerpiece of a fresh crudité spread with baby carrots, stuffed celery, sliced cucumbers, and all your favorite crisp veggies.
Super simple, inexpensive, and make-ahead friendly—these are hands-down one of the easiest football party food ideas out there. Your guests will love the cute look and creamy flavor!
