Instructions to make Hummus Deviled Eggs

Step 1

First, start by cooking the hard-boiled eggs. Use whatever method works for you.

Our tried and true method is to carefully lower the eggs into a pot of boiling water on the stove, boil on high heat for 30 seconds, then lower the heat to low and simmer for 13 more minutes.

Use a slotted spoon and transfer eggs to an ice water bath. This will shock the eggs and stop the cooking process. After putting it to the test, we find this method will give you tender whites and a perfectly cooked yolk.

Dry the eggs off and easily peel the shells from the cool eggs.

Step 2

Next, slice the eggs cleanly in half lengthwise.

Step 3

Then, pop the yolk out of the egg halves and transfer them to a mixing bowl. Place the hard-cooked white shells on a plate and set them aside.

Step 4

Then, mash the yolks with a fork.

Mix the seasonings and hummus into the mashed yolks and stir until the mixture is smooth and incorporated.

Step 5

Next, scoop the mixture back into the empty center of each egg half. You can get fancy and use a pastry bag (or a plastic bag with the tip cut off) to pipe the egg yolk/hummus in a pretty swirl.

Expert tip

Don’t use super fresh eggs when making hard-boiled eggs. If you get farm-fresh eggs, wait a few days before making this recipe, as the shells from fresh eggs tend to stick a lot more.

Recipe Variations

  • Mix curry, ginger, and chopped cilantro into the hummus mixture. Sprinkle with chopped cashews.
  • Try these Huevos Rancheros Deviled Eggs for a Mexican twist.
  • Add heat to your deviled eggs by adding a few dashes of hot sauce or a small squirt of sriracha to the hummus mixture. 

If you love the earthy, decadent taste of white truffles, give these truffle deviled eggs a try.

Serving suggestions

  • This recipe is a great appetizer for a party or gathering. Arrange them on a serving platter and sprinkle with a dash of paprika and freshly chopped herbs like parsley.
  • Add them to your lunch box and serve them with a side salad for a light and satisfying lunch.

FAQS

Can I use a different type of egg instead of chicken eggs?

While chicken eggs are the most commonly used eggs for deviled eggs, you can certainly use other types of eggs such as quail eggs or duck eggs.

Are devilled eggs unhealthy?

Eggs are an excellent source of protein and the only possible downside to deviled eggs could be the sugar and dodgy oils used in processed mayo (making homemade mayonnaise is much healthier!). 

Storing

Hummus Deviled Eggs can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to two days. One day is better for optimum freshness and flavor.

It’s not recommended to freeze this recipe as the texture of the egg whites and hummus mixture could become compromised after thawing.

    Omg I love this idea! I always buy hummus then forget about it in the fridge. Now I can use it to make deviled eggs.

    Eggcellent idea! I need to try this mayo free deviled egg recipe. Two of my favourites combined in one.

    I too found that although the baking method produced hard boiled eggs that peeled well, I found the brown dot annoying. In my annoyance, I stumbled across this, and IT WORKS!! I never have problem peeling eggs, and only once had that grey ring around the yolk that indicates it was overcooked. I do this a dozen at a time and keep the eggs in a Ziplock bag in the fridge (the cracked shell makes them dry out quicker otherwise), unpeeled for consumption for breakfasts or peeled if they are going to be turned into deviled eggs in the near future. I use a basket intended for cooking pasta, with handles to scoop, and just scoop the eggs out and plunge into cold water, and add ice…after a minute crack them and put them back in. Works better than anything I have tried in the past.

    That recipe is brilliant! I have never heard of baking eggs in the oven; I will have to give that a try. Love the last pictures of the eggs in the spoons. 🙂
