The Single Ingredient That Makes Your Deviled Eggs Unforgettable
You'll never make plain deviled eggs again.

Southerners love deviled eggs just about any way we can get them—whether they're packed with pimiento cheese, loaded with bacon, or piled with pickles. Classic deviled eggs are just fine, but toppings and stir-ins quickly take deviled eggs from good to great.

Last year, the Southern Living Test Kitchen spent two weeks creating the most amazing deviled egg recipes I’ve ever tasted. We developed more than two dozen delicious versions, but there’s one that I simply can’t stop thinking about—French Onion Deviled Eggs.

What Makes French Onion Deviled Eggs So Darn Good?
The humble onion is the true hero of this recipe making them so delicious.
To pull this recipe together, all you need are yellow onions, a little olive oil, and time.
After cooking them low and slow for about 30 minutes, you get jammy, savory caramelized onions that take deviled eggs from expected to unforgettable.

The Topping That Makes Them Even Better
Just by themselves, caramelized onions totally transform classic deviled eggs. But if you want to take them right over the top (and you totally should), make these Crispy Gruyere Onions.
A simple mixture of shredded cheese and store-bought fried onions (yep, the same ones that go on green bean casserole) get baked into a super-savory crunchy berets that add the perfect finishing touch to these handsome devils.
Why I Can Guarantee You’ll Love These Deviled Eggs
Not only have these French Onion Deviled Eggs been tested (and devoured!) four times by the Southern Living Test Kitchen professionals, I have personally made them five additional times. Seriously—they’re that good. What are you waiting for? Start caramelizing those onions and treat yourself to the best deviled eggs you’ve ever tasted.
