What To Serve With It
I love serving deviled eggs with a fresh salad that’s light and tangy, like a simple arugula and lemon vinaigrette mix. You can’t go wrong with some crunchy bread, either—think garlic toast or a rustic baguette for a satisfying bite. These pairings always make the eggs feel like part of a complete, delicious meal.
Fresh Salad Pairings
What’s better than a plate of deviled eggs? Pairing them with fresh salad combinations! I love tossing crisp greens, juicy tomatoes, and crunchy cucumbers—all fresh ingredients—with a light vinaigrette. A tangy coleslaw or a simple Caesar salad works too. The cool, crisp textures balance the rich, creamy eggs perfectly. Trust me, it’s a match made in heaven, and your taste buds will thank you!
Crunchy Bread Options
While fresh salads are a great match for deviled eggs, sometimes you’re craving something with a little more crunch. I love serving them with toasted baguette slices or crispy crostini—their crunchy toppings like sesame seeds or garlic butter add extra texture. For heartier options, try rye or sourdough bread. The contrast between creamy eggs and crunchy bread types makes every bite satisfying. Trust me, it’s a game-changer!
