This Easy Instant Pot Deviled Eggs recipe offers a quick and foolproof way to prepare perfectly cooked hard-boiled eggs using your Instant Pot. The creamy filling combines mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, smoked paprika, and seasonings for a classic, flavorful twist. Ideal for parties, potlucks, or simple snacks, these deviled eggs are garnished with chives and everything but the bagel seasoning for extra zest.

  • Total Time: 20 minutes
  • Yield: 24 deviled egg halves

Ingredients

Eggs and Cooking

  • 12 large eggs (hard boiled and egg yolks grated)
  • 1 cup water

Deviled Egg Filling

  • ½ cup mayonnaise
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • ¼ teaspoon kosher salt (or more to taste)
  • ¼ teaspoon smoked paprika (plus more for serving)

Garnish

  • 2 tablespoons chives (finely chopped for serving)
  • 1 teaspoon everything but the bagel seasoning (for serving)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Instant Pot: Place the rack in the bottom of the Instant Pot and pour in 1 cup of water. Carefully arrange the whole eggs on the rack to ensure they are not sitting directly in the water.
  2. Cook the eggs: Secure the lid and set the Instant Pot to high pressure/manual mode for 5 minutes. This pressure cooking method guarantees perfectly hard-boiled eggs with minimal fuss.
  3. Quick release and cool: When the cooking time is complete, perform a quick pressure release to release steam. Immediately transfer the eggs into a bowl of iced water and let them cool for 5 minutes. This cooling step stops the cooking process and makes peeling easier.
  4. Peel and halve eggs: Gently peel the cooled eggs and slice each one in half lengthwise to expose the yolks.
  5. Prepare the filling: Remove the yolks from the egg whites and grate them finely into a medium-sized bowl. Add mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, kosher salt, and smoked paprika. Mix thoroughly until the filling is smooth and well combined.
  6. Fill the eggs: Transfer the yolk mixture into a piping bag or a Ziplock bag with the tip cut off. Pipe the filling neatly into each egg white half, filling evenly and generously.
  7. Garnish and serve: Sprinkle the deviled eggs with additional smoked paprika, finely chopped chives, and everything but the bagel seasoning if using. Arrange on a serving platter and serve chilled or at room temperature.

Notes

  • Using the Instant Pot makes boiling eggs hands-free and foolproof.
  • Quick cooling in ice water helps prevent the green ring around yolks and makes peeling easier.
  • You can adjust seasoning to taste, adding more salt or mustard if preferred.
  • Piping the yolk mixture creates a pretty, professional presentation but you can spoon it in if preferred.
  • These deviled eggs can be stored covered in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
