How long are deviled eggs good for?
Deviled Eggs will last up to 2 days in the refrigerator once prepared. However, since hard boiled eggs can last up to a week in the refrigerator, you can do most of your prep for this recipe ahead of time. If you are going to hard boil your eggs more than a day prior to making your deviled eggs, it's best to keep them in their shells until you are ready to use them.
You could create a really nice meal with a simple protein (our Spiral Ham in Crockpot is a winner!), a nice salad, and a cheesy comfort food (maybe this Crockpot Hashbrown Casserole) and call dinner done!
