    Creamy Deviled Eggs with Dill are a simple yet elegant appetizer that fits right in with the spirit of Nordic gatherings—unfussy, flavorful, and rooted in seasonal ingredients. In Scandinavia, eggs are a staple of springtime smorgasbords, especially around Easter and Midsummer when the table is filled with fresh herbs, pickled vegetables, and simple, satisfying bites.

    If you're planning a Scandinavian-inspired Easter menu, these deviled eggs pair beautifully with other seasonal favorites like Homemade Gravlax, pickled herring, and Danish rye bread. For summer get-togethers, serve them alongside this Herbed Potato Salad with Capers or as part of a Midsummer smorgasbord. However you enjoy them, they’re a quick and easy way to bring a touch of Nordic charm to your table.

    Ingredients

    Labeled ingredients for Deviled Eggs with Dill.
    • Large Eggs - I always boil 7 eggs even if I'm only making 12 deviled eggs, just in case one cracks. And extra yolk for the filling is always welcome.
    • Mayonnaise
    • Sour Cream - This mellows out the mayo a bit and gives these deviled eggs, a luscious, super creamy quality.
    • Dijon mustard
    • Distilled White Vinegar - Adds just the right zippy tang to the recipe.
    • Fresh Dill - Dried dill can be used in place of the fresh but cut the amount in half.
    • Salt and Pepper

    See recipe card for exact amounts and detailed instructions.

    Variations

    • Deviled Eggs with Dill and Capers - add 2 teaspoons of chopped capers to the filling. You probably won't need any additional salt with this variation.

    How to Make Creamy Deviled Eggs with Dill

    Eggs in a pot with boiling water.
    • Step 1: Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Carefully lower the eggs in the boiling water. Cook for 10 minutes.

    • Step 2: Remove the eggs from the water and transfer to a large bowl filled with cold water and ice. Let sit for 10 minutes.

    • Step 6: Pipe or spoon the filling into the white halves. Garnish with fresh dill and serve.

    Expert Tips

    • Do not overcook the eggs and be sure to transfer them immediately to an ice bath after 10 minutes of cooking.
    • For easy peeling, gently roll the cooked egg on the countertop to develop cracks in the shell. Start peeling at the larger end of the egg (there is an air pocket there that makes it an easier starting point).
    • You really want your egg yolks to break down to a fine texture before mixing them with the other ingredients. If they are not breaking down into a fine texture in Step 4, transfer the yolks to a fine mesh strainer and press them through with a rubber spatula. Even if they don't go through the mesh entirely, the rough texture of it will help break them down. Transfer the yolks back to the bowl and proceed as directed.
    • I used a ½ inch closed star piping tip to put the filling in the egg white halves.

    Recipe FAQs

    Can I make deviled eggs in advance?

    Yes! For best results, store the filling and egg whites separately (both tightly covered in the refrigerator). Pipe or spoon the filling in just before serving. I will just fill my piping bag with the filling and have it ready to go in the refrigerator. You can make the components up to 2 days ahead.

    How do I store the deviled eggs and how long will they keep?

    Once the eggs are filled, they can be covered with plastic wrap or transferred to an airtight container and stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. They will darken in color a bit on top as they sit so for serving to guests I prefer to store the filling and egg whites separate as discussed above.

    What to Serve with Deviled Eggs with Dill

    In addition to the recipes mentioned above (gravlax, pickled herring, potato salad and rye bread), other good accompaniments for deviled eggs include Quick Swedish Pickled Cucumbers or Lemon Cucumber Salad with Dill, Carrot Salad with Dill, Swedish Crispbread (Knäckebröd), or Norwegian Crispbread (Gluten-Free Seed Crackers).
