How to make Tuna Deviled Eggs

Step By Step Instructions

STEP 1: Slice the eggs in half, pop the yolks out into a large mixing bowl and fork mash.

STEP 2: To the mixing bowl, add the tuna, half of the green onions, mayo, relish, red onion, dill, mustard, garlic powder, paprika, salt and pepper. Mix until all ingredients are well incorporated.

STEP 3: Put mixture into a piping bag or a resealable plastic bag. Squeeze the mixture to one corner of the bag and snip off the corner of the bag. Use this to pipe the mixture back into the egg halves.

STEP 4: Top each egg with remaining green onions.

How to Make Perfect Hardboiled Eggs

How do you make the perfect hardboiled eggs?

This is how I make perfect hard-boiled eggs: Place the eggs in a large saucepan with cold water. Add enough water so that the eggs are fully submerged. Over high heat, bring the water to a rolling boil. Once the water is boiling, remove the pan from the heat, cover, and let sit for 10-12 minutes. Submerge the eggs in a cold-water bath before peeling.

Recipe Tips and Variations

Storage: Store leftover Tuna Deviled Eggs in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
Use salmon: These are also delicious using a canned salmon. They are also delicious with shrimp or crab.
Use chicken: Change things up entirely and use canned or shredded chicken
Add avocado: These tuna deviled eggs are also delicious with some cubed avocado added
Add celery: For a nice crunchy element, add one rib of chopped celery
Add capers: Add a nice briny element by tossing in a tablespoon of capers.
Add fresh herbs: add more herbs like parsley, chives, tarragon, and more dill.
