It’s possible to skip all the work involved in making deviled eggs by topping them with seasonings and mustard that resembles the flavor of deviled eggs.

A great mustard to pair with hard-boiled eggs is whole-grain mustard made with brown and black mustard seeds. It carries a good amount of heat without being overbearing.

As whole grain mustards are minimally ground, they retain the texture of whole mustard seeds, providing a textural contrast when paired with creamy foods such as hard-boiled eggs.

On its own or with chopped herbs such as tarragon or scallions, whole grain mustard is a fantastic ingredient to bring the flavor of deviled eggs without extra prep work.
