Common Mistakes
One common mistake when making deviled eggs is overcooking the eggs. This will result in a rubbery texture and greenish yolks. Be sure to cook the eggs just until they are set and then immediately place them in ice water to stop the cooking process. Another mistake is not mashing the yolks enough. This will result in lumpy deviled eggs. Be sure to mash the yolks until they are smooth before adding in the other ingredients.
