Can you make deviled eggs ahead of time?
Yes, you absolutely can! Deviled eggs is one of the easiest appetizers to make ahead of time. The unpeeled, hard-boiled eggs can be stored in the fridge for up to one week.
The filling can be made up to 2 days in advance. Make sure to keep the egg yolks and egg whites separate until the day of the event to get the best flavor. Keep the filling in an airtight container or zip block bag in the fridge till the day you will serve your snack. The egg whites you can also keep in a container or simply keep them in a covered bowl.
