Lastly, if you’re taking your deviled eggs to a party or potluck, I recommend putting them on ice during transportation. This will prevent bacteria growth and ensure they stay fresh until ready to eat.

Tips for Perfect Results
To get the perfect results from this recipe, there are a few tips and tricks that you can follow. These tips will help you make the most exquisite deviled eggs with Seltzer’s Lebanon Bologna.
Firstly, when boiling your eggs, add a pinch of salt to the water. This will help to prevent cracking and make them easier to peel. It’s best to use cold water when cooking the eggs and bring them to a boil slowly over medium heat. Once they start boiling, let them cook for around 10 minutes. After that, remove them from heat and immediately place them in cold water to stop the cooking process.
Once completely cooled, peel the eggs gently and be careful not to break them. If some shell pieces stick to the egg, try peeling it under running water. This will make it easier for shell bits to come off completely.
When making the filling, mix all of the ingredients well before adding them to the egg yolks. Make sure that you have mashed everything together thoroughly and there are no lumps in the mixture.
Seltzer’s Lebanon bologna is the star of this recipe, so ensure that you get high-quality bologna from reputable companies like Baesler’s Market or online at Almark Foods Gourmet Deviled Eggs website. Also don’t be scared of experimenting with different varieties or brands of bologna your local deli has available.
To take your deviled eggs up a notch, try using paprika or dried mustard powder to liven up its flavor profile. You can also substitute regular mayonnaise for flavored ones like garlic or chipotle, keeping in mind how these flavors complement bologna well.
Finally, garnish with sliced bologna, paprika, or any other visually appealing addition of your choice just before serving for an appetizing presentation.
These tips can help ensure that your deviled eggs are nothing short of perfection each time you make them.
FAQ
As with any recipe, there are always questions that arise. In this section, we will address some frequently asked questions to help ensure that your Lebanon Bologna Deviled Eggs turn out delicious every time. So let’s clear up any confusion and get right to it!
Why is vinegar added to deviled eggs?
The combination of mayo, mustard, and yolks with a touch of vinegar results in a filling that is both flavorful and dense. Despite its density, the filling still manages to be surprisingly light and moist.
Why should you eat no more than 2 deviled eggs?
When it comes to deviled eggs, it’s important to be mindful of the cholesterol and sodium content. A single egg contains 186 milligrams of cholesterol, while the addition of mayonnaise adds 3 more milligrams. It’s recommended to consume no more than 300 milligrams of cholesterol per day, so even just two deviled eggs can account for a whopping 63 percent of your recommended daily value. When it comes to sodium, each deviled egg can add up to 120 milligrams, so it’s best to be cautious when indulging in this tasty appetizer.
Why are my deviled eggs not creamy?
One common mistake that can ruin hard-boiled eggs is over or undercooking them. Luckily, there is a simple trick that can help you achieve perfectly cooked eggs every time. I prefer to cover the eggs with water, bring the water to a boil, and then take the pot off the heat and let the eggs sit for ten minutes. This ensures that the whites are cooked just enough to be firm, yet still tender, and the yolks are set but still retain that desirable creaminess.
