Ingredients

We gave deviled eggs the bloody Mary upgrade in this easy recipe by adding in horseradish, tomato paste, hot sauce, and celery seed.

For the Eggs

• 12 large eggs
• 1/4 c. mayonnaise
• Juice of 1/2 a lemon
• 1 tbsp. horseradish
• 1 tbsp. tomato paste
• 2 tsp. hot sauce
• 1 tsp. celery seed

For Seasoning

• Kosher salt
• Freshly ground black pepper

For Garnish

• 2 tbsp. Old Bay seasoning
• Thinly sliced pickles and celery leaves, for serving

How to Make Bloody Mary Deviled Eggs

Step 1: Boil the Eggs

Bring a large pot of water to a boil. For 12 eggs, use about 4 quarts of water; work in batches if needed. Using a slotted spoon or tongs, gently lower eggs one at a time into the water. Return to a boil, cover the pot, and reduce heat to medium-low. Cook for 12 minutes.

Step 2: Prepare Ice Bath

A few minutes before the eggs are ready, fill a large bowl with about 4 cups of ice and about 6 cups of water. Once cooked, transfer the eggs to the ice bath and let them sit for about 30 seconds.

Step 3: Crack and Peel Eggs

Using the back of a spoon, tap each egg gently all over its shell. Alternatively, roll them on a counter but avoid tapping too hard! Return cracked eggs to the ice bath for another 5 minutes. Peel under cool running water while scooping out yolks into a medium bowl.

Step 4: Mix Filling Ingredients

In your bowl with yolks, add mayonnaise, lemon juice, horseradish, tomato paste, hot sauce, and celery seed. Mix until well combined; season with salt and pepper to taste. Transfer this mixture into a piping bag fitted with a large tip or snip off one corner of a plastic bag.

Step 5: Prepare Egg Whites

Place Old Bay seasoning on a small plate. Press cut sides of each peeled egg half into seasoning to coat them lightly.

Step 6: Fill Egg Whites

Arrange your prepared egg halves on a serving plate. Pipe filling generously onto each egg half using your piping bag. Top each with thin slices of pickle and fresh celery leaves for garnish.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

Making Bloody Mary Deviled Eggs can be simple, but there are a few common mistakes that can impact your results. Here are some pitfalls to watch out for:

• 
  

  Overcooking the eggs: Cooking eggs for too long makes them rubbery and changes the flavor. Stick to 12 minutes for perfectly cooked yolks.

  
  
• 
  

  Not using fresh ingredients: Fresh mayonnaise and quality hot sauce elevate the taste. Check expiration dates to ensure maximum flavor.

  
  
• 
  

  Ignoring seasoning: Under-seasoning can lead to bland deviled eggs. Taste your mixture before piping and adjust with salt and pepper.

  
  
• 
  

  Skipping the ice bath: An ice bath is crucial for easy peeling. It helps separate the egg from the shell, making your deviled eggs look perfect.

  
  
• 
  

  Using too small a piping bag: A small tip can make filling tedious. Use a larger piping bag or snip off a bigger corner of a plastic bag for easier filling.
