Make these creamy and tangy deviled pickles, a unique party snack inspired by deviled eggs. This is a simple recipe for homemade pickle appetizers.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 12 large dill pickles, halved lengthwise
  • 4 large egg yolks, hard-boiled
  • 1/4 cup mayonnaise
  • 1 tablespoon yellow mustard
  • 1 teaspoon pickle juice
  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika, plus extra for garnish
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/8 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

  1. Drain the pickle halves well and pat them completely dry with paper towels. Set aside.
  2. Scoop out the center flesh of each pickle half using a small spoon to create a boat shape. Chop the removed pickle flesh finely and set aside.
  3. In a small bowl, mash the hard-boiled egg yolks until smooth.
  4. Add the mayonnaise, yellow mustard, pickle juice, paprika, salt, and pepper to the mashed yolks. Mix until the filling is smooth and creamy.
  5. Stir the finely chopped pickle flesh into the yolk mixture.
  6. Transfer the filling to a piping bag fitted with a star tip, or use a small spoon.
  7. Pipe or spoon the filling evenly into the hollowed-out pickle halves.
  8. Sprinkle the tops of the filled pickles with extra paprika.
  9. Chill the deviled pickles for at least 30 minutes before serving as a fun finger food.

Notes

  • For a spicy deviled pickle appetizers variation, add 1/2 teaspoon of hot sauce to the filling mixture.
  • If you do not have a piping bag, you can use a small zip-top bag, snip off a corner, and use that to pipe the filling.
  • Use sweet and sour pickle bites by substituting sweet pickle relish for the dill pickle juice.
