Recipe Notes
Hate hard boiling eggs? Not sure about the anchovies? I got you with all my best secrets to make sure your deviled eggs with capers recipe turns out as mouthwateringly delicious as I know it should be!
Ingredient Notes
Simple ingredients, but some of these are a bit unusual. Let me walk you through them!
- Hard-Boiled Eggs: Ah, the star of the dish, but the most fickle one! Thankfully, the internet is bursting with helpful videos like this one from The Kitchn — the most important thing you’ll need is a timer! There’s one way to make perfect hard boiled eggs… air fryer hard boiled eggs is perfect for yah!
- Shells: Peeling your hard-boiled eggs is so often a pain! But if you add a little vinegar to your boiling water beforehand, the shells will break down and be super easy to peel.
- Anchovy Paste: This is, by far, the most unusual ingredient! But trust me when I say it makes the whole bite sensational. You don’t get any fishy taste at all — just a deep, savory umami flavor.
- Capers: Fun fact: capers are actually preserved flower buds! They come off the plant quite bitter, but the salty preservation brine mellows out the flavor and complements the anchovy paste in a truly satisfying way. If you haven’t cooked with capers before, start now!
Tools to Make
You only need a few tools to make perfect deviled eggs with capers!
- Pot for boiling your eggs
- Bowl for mixing the yolks
- Plate for holding your egg whites
- Forks for mixing the filling
Also, don’t forget a timer if you want to make sure your hard-boiled eggs are perfectly cooked!
How Long Can You Keep This In The Fridge?
Eggs, like their chicken counterparts, are fickle when it comes to storage. The wrong location could spell disaster for bacteria — and your stomach! — so be sure to follow one rule when all else fails:
If in doubt, refrigerate!
Deviled eggs especially love the cool temps of the fridge. Store it, sealed, for up to a week.
Can You Freeze This?
Unfortunately, no. Deviled eggs don’t do well in the freezer — the low low temps do funky things to the filling and boiled eggs. Opt to eat them chilled instead!
Make Ahead Tips
You can boil the eggs ahead of time — up to five days! Then, when you’re ready, crack and peel, whip up the filling, and serve. Easy peasy!
Serving Recommendations
Deviled eggs with capers are some of my favorite finger foods — perfect for pre-barbecue snacking or afternoon party munching! But what else could we serve with them to make the most appetizing little plate of snacky goodness?
Keep the seafood theme pulling with my divine shrimp salad sandwich! These crunchy, bite-sized treats come loaded with shrimp flavor and creamy sauce. Pile on some added seafood — and CRUNCH! — with my air fryer crab rangoon!
Doesn’t that sound like the most appealing plate of appetizers you’ve ever had?

Gosh, I love deviled eggs, but have only had the old standby version. These sound so delicious and classy. Love them!
Last night I made these eggs and they were delicious. Thanks for the recipe!
I have brought different versions of deviled eggs to a few gatherings lately and I have to say the guests are reaching with one hand and stuffing one in with their other hand at the same time. Such a retro dish but everyone just loves them. 3 dozen isn't enough for most gatherings.
Ohhh, sun-dried tomatoes! That's a great addition. Mmmmm….

I agree with you on the anchovy paste. It adds a certain something, but it's best not to tell anyone before they take a bite.
my prediction was incorrect–i thought you might put avocado in the filling mixture because for some reason, i always associate it with the west coast. regardless of my failed assumption, these look and sound great–hooray for sun-dried tomatoes!
Deviled egg season? Yes please! Sign me up! 😉
Yum, I want seconds already!! 😀
I saw your comment on the blog about the earthquake, SO scary! I totally agree about the time, I was just waiting for my apartment building to come crashing down haha.

We went to my parents' house for Easter and my mom made us some deviled eggs – yum! I love your ingredients though – never would've thought to put anchovies in the yolk. Very creative.
