    If you are looking for a fun and unique party appetizer, be sure to give Italian Deviled Eggs a try! Just like traditional deviled eggs, these are simple to make and a low cost appetizer option.

    To give these deviled eggs and Italian-inspired twist, this recipe uses diced salami and parmesan cheese. However, you can always substitute whatever deli meats you have on hand: mortadella or prosciutto would be delicious.

    Italian Deviled Eggs

    To make these Italian Deviled Eggs you need just a few ingredients:

    • Hard boiled eggs
    • Mayonnaise
    • Dijon mustard
    • Salami
    • Parmesan cheese
    • Green onions

    This recipe comes together fast and allows for substitutions. I also designed this recipe to include ingredients that are easy to find, and are likely to already have on hand.

    You can save time when making this recipe by using hardboiled eggs from the grocery store. Or, make the eggs ahead of time and refrigerate until ready to use.

    How to boil eggs for deviled eggs?

    This may seem like a simple enough task. However if you've ever had to try and pry shell off hard boiled eggs, or have gray unappetizing yolk, you'll know that it can be tricky.

    Here is my no fail trick for making the perfect hard boiled eggs. Firstly, place the eggs in a small pot with a lid. Choose one that has enough room so that you don't have to stack the eggs, but is also snug enough that they are not rolling all over the place.

    Then, fill the pot with cool tap water. Place the pot of eggs on the stove and bring the eggs to a low boil. Then, reduce the heat to a simmer, cover the pot, and let simmer for exactly ten minutes.

    While the eggs are boiling, set out a bowl of very cold ice water. Then, after the ten minutes are up, use a slotted spoon to move the eggs to the ice water. Let them sit for two minutes, then crack the eggs and peel off the shell. If you followed these instructions, the shells should peel right off leaving you with perfect hard boiled eggs.

    Italian Deviled Eggs Filling

    These deviled eggs are similar to traditional deviled eggs but have a delicious Italian-inspired filling of salami and parmesan. Feel free to substitute whatever Italian deli meats or cheeses you have on hand.

    Firstly, carefully cut your hardboiled eggs in half lengthwise. Then, use a small spoon to scoop the egg yolk out of the eggs and into a mixing bowl. I like to use a special deviled egg platter to hold the whites while I prepare the filling for my eggs.

    Next, use a handheld mixer to beat together the egg yolks, mayonnaise, and dijon. Using the mixer will make sure your egg yolks are smooth and creamy when you fill the eggs.

    Then, add in the diced salami, grated parmesan, and diced green onion. Mix until well combined.

    At this point, you can spoon the filling into the egg whites. Alternatively, you can place the filling into a piping bag fitted with a star attachment and pipe the filling into the egg whites.

    Lastly, garnish with a sprinkle of chopped green onion and salami if desired. You can make these eggs up to a day in advance, just cover and refrigerate.

      Deviled eggs are a favorite of mine. So many fillings go well in them. I love the salami and parmesan for the saltiness that they add. Delicious!
