How to Create a Deviled Egg Bar
Gosh, this is super easy and fun to assemble. For our last deviled egg bar gathering, everyone had such a blast assembling their own deviled eggs and with all the different types of toppings, each bite is unique and delicious. We like to go beyond the norm and give inspiration to different toppings that cover flavors from around the world and of course, we can’t forget the traditional favorites. But it’s all about inspiration and showing how each bite can be reminiscent of a past trip, memory and moment.
Some of our favorite deviled egg themes and inspirations for your deviled egg bar. We have so many but here are what we had during our photo shoot. The possibilities are endless!
- Prepare the deviled eggs without the toppings. Place filled eggs on a big platter.
- Lay out all your ingredients and toppings in smaller bowls.
- Provide your guests with small plates and let them customize each deviled with their choice of toppings and sauces.
Different Deviled Egg Ingredients
Deviled eggs should never be boring! We’ve had so many fun flavor inspirations for the toppings. Here’s a few of our favorite themes from around the world.
Japanese Deviled Eggs
We love all the avory flavors of Japanese inspired toppings. You could have a variety of furikake seasonings, fragrant bonito flakes, yuzu kosho, and zingy picked ginger. The flavors are absolutely outstanding and reminds us of our past eating trips through Japan and Tsukijji fish market.
California coastal fresh deviled eggs
The plentiful seasonal produce of California are great inspirations for toppings. hink ripe sweet heirloom cherry tomato, swipe of fresh basil pesto and a sliver of crispy fried garlic, all flecked wth fresh cracked black pepper and flaky sea salt. Amazing!
Ham and pink pepper corn deviled eggs
Salty chunks of smoked ham paired with the zippy spice of crushed pink peppercorns is fabulous. Don’t forget the smoked sea salt, some flecks of fresh thyme and you have a unique combination that everyone will drool over.
Indian flavors on deviled eggs
A little swipe of sweet mango chutney and paprika is a powerful bite of dreamy Indian flavors. And to make it more versatile, try a deviled egg with some curry powder and cayenne. The rich spices are packed with an unforgettable punch.
Vietnamese inspired deviled eggs
A “banh mi” deviled egg? Yes, it works! A small schmear of pâté, drizzle of soy sauce or maggi, minced cilantro, a thin sliver of chili pepper all topped with some pickled carrots and daikon will blow your mind. Try it. Trust us.
Spicy Deviled Eggs
A drizzle of our homemade chili garlic onion crunch oil is amazing on deviled eggs. It’s the most popular go-to topping for our devield egg bars. Here’s the recipe for our homemade chili garlic oil crunch recipe.
Spicy Fool with Bacon: We like to call it this because we have family members who can tolerate a ton of spicy heat and we call them fools. Maybe because we’re jealous because we can’t eat too spicy of food or maybe it’s because they’re suffering the post-spice pains afterwards. What ever your tolerance is, there’s always someone at the party to loves spicy. And bacon! So top the egg with slivers of bacon, jalapeño, habanero, and/or a swipe of your favorite hot sauce like Sriracha or anything that tips the spicy scale to over the top.
Timeless: The classics such as smoke salmon, dill, chives and other variations are always popular, appreciated and devoured super quick. Again, the possibilities are endless so have the time of your lives with your friends and family to eat up as many delicious custom made deviled eggs as possible. And most importantly, have fun! hugs, diane and todd
