Are you a fan of making boiled eggs and using them for deviled eggs? I love boiled eggs in so many dishes, and my post on making Perfect Hard-Boiled Eggs gives you a few foolproof methods for cooking the eggs and that post has been popular for years. 

And for me deviled eggs will always be the #1 way to use hard-boiled eggs, and these Deviled Eggs with Green Olives are the ones I make over and over. It’s the green olives that make these eggs a winner for me, although I love all those flavors!

Of course not everyone is a green olive fan like I am, so if green olives are not your thing, check out one of my other Deviled Egg Recipes! But for the other green olive lovers out there (including my brother Mark and my sister Sandee) these Deviled Eggs with Green Olives are a must-make recipe when you have hard-boiled eggs! (And don’t miss my trick below for easily filling deviled eggs with a make-shift piping bag!)

These deviled eggs are definitely a riff on my recipe for Egg Salad in Pita with Green Olives, Green Onions, and Dijon. That’s also one of my favorite things to eat with low-carb pita bread, and those same flavors are great in deviled eggs as well!

How to Make Deviled Eggs with Green Olives:

(Scroll down for complete printable recipe with nutritional information.)

1. Start by using one of my methods for Perfect Hard-Boiled Eggs (or your preferred method). If you cook them properly you should be able to get perfect eggs with no green around the yolks. Peeling the eggs is the hardest part of making hard-boiled eggs, but if you use the steaming method, and use eggs that are a few weeks old if possible, they peel much more easily.
2. Cut eggs in half, take out the yolks, and mash yolks well with a fork.
3. Chop up about 10 medium-sized green olives.
4. Finely chop the capers.
5. Then slice enough olives to get 12 nice slices to garnish the eggs.
6. Mix the egg yolks, mayo, Dijon, green olive juice, chopped green olives, and chopped capers. 
7. Season with salt and fresh-ground black pepper.
8. Put the yolk mixture into a small plastic storage bag and press the mixture down into one corner.  Cut off that corner.
9. Use the plastic bag (or a regular piping bag if you have one) to squeeze the mixture out and fill all the egg halves.
10. Top each deviled egg with a slice of green olive.
11. Serve the deviled eggs with green olives, then sit back and wait for compliments from all the green olive lovers among your friends and family!

Low-Carb Diet / Low-Glycemic Diet / South Beach Diet Suggestions:
Eggs are a great choice for any low-carb diet or for the original South Beach Diet. Low-Carb and Keto diet followers would enjoy these eggs made with all mayo, but using partly non-fat Greek yogurt (and light mayo if you prefer) in the eggs would make them a good choice for any phase of the South Beach Diet.
