    A combination of a few simple ingredients including vegan hard boiled eggs, vegan mayo, dijon mustard and Kala Namak Black salt (for an eggy flavor). That’s it. Along with a little sprinkle of paprika for that extra pop of flavor and color.

    “The word deviled, in reference to food, was in use in the 18th century… it came to be used most often with spicy or zesty foods, including eggs prepared with mustard, pepper or other ingredients stuffed in the yolk cavity.”

    Deviled eggs are a classic southern recipe and perfect for the holidays, Easter or other gatherings. Vegan Hard Boiled Devil eggs are said to have originated in Rome. But the earliest known American recipe for deviled eggs was said to have been printed in the Montgomery Advertiser in Alabama.

    These egg alternatives also make a great substitute for hard-boiled eggs on the Military diet plan, the Daniel Fast since it restricts items that are animal products like meat, fish, eggs and dairy or a great addition to a vegan breakfast.

    Key Ingredients

    • Vegan boiled eggs - for this recipe we purchased Wundereggs. Read everything you want to know about Wundereggs vegan hard boiled eggs and where to buy them. You can also make vegan boiled eggs from this recipe.
    • Kala Namak Black salt (comes with egg package) - it’s a rock salt with a sulfurous, pungent smell. This is a key ingredient to getting deviled eggs that taste like traditional eggs. Food Network has a great article about the properties of Black salt.
    • Vegan Mayonnaise & Dijon Mustard - both key ingredients in traditional recipes.
    • Pickle Relish/ Sweet Relish - in the south this is a mandatory ingredient. But we realize some use vinegar instead in other parts of the country.
    • Paprika for garnish

    Recipe FAQ’s

    Are Eggs Vegan Friendly?

    Vegans don't eat eggs due to the fact that they are animal products. However, eggs, cheese and dairy products are a part of a vegetarian diet. Luckily there are a lot of great vegan egg substitutes on the market like Just Egg and WunderEggs.

    What Are Vegan Eggs Made Out Of?

    Vegan Egg substitutes can be made from a range of ingredients: tofu, agar agar and chickpeas are the more traditional options. The main ingredients in WunderEggs are Almonds, Cashews, Coconut Milk, Agar (a seaweed based gelatin substitute), Konjac (commonly used as a substitute for animal gelatin in vegan items), Potato Protein, Black Salt (Known as Kala Namak. Just Egg is made from mung beans, soy, canola oil plus carrots and turmeric for coloring plus spices for seasoning.

    Do Vegan Eggs Taste Like Real Eggs?

    Traditional vegan recipes like tofu scramble made from soy tofu have a great taste and text similar to egg. But with new egg substitutes like Wunderegg they do an incredible job of replicating a real hard-boiled chicken's egg with a distinct yellow yolk and eggy flavor thanks sulfur salt.
