Million Dollar Deviled Eggs

Recipe Description

Make this old-school Million Dollar Deviled Eggs recipe at your next dinner party and wow your family and guests. I am a huge fan of deviled eggs, and this recipe is the best I have ever tried. The key ingredient that makes this recipe so fabulous is very simple, and it’s likely you already have it in the kitchen. This key ingredient is butter, which ensures extra creamy and velvety texture – my absolute favorite.   

I also like to brighten up this recipe by adding a splash of sweet gherkin pickle juice. This juice adds a sweet and tangy kick to the classic appetizer. Make sure to use pickles of high quality, and maybe even better – homemade if you have one.

To make the Million Dollar Deviled Eggs, you will need the following ingredients:
