Ingredients You’ll Need
Here’s what makes these deviled eggs so flavorful:
12 hard-boiled eggs
You can use medium or large eggs for this recipe. My eggs are all free range from my chickens and are various sizes.
1 cup Garlic and Fine Herbs Boursin Cheese
This soft, creamy cheese is infused with garlic and herbs, which eliminates the need for extra seasoning while creating an incredibly smooth filling.
1/3 cup mayo and a pinch sea salt and pepper
Greek yogurt adds tanginess and creaminess while keeping the filling lighter than traditional mayonnaise-based recipes. A small amount of salt enhances the flavor of the yolks and balances the richness of the cheese.
How to Make Boursin Deviled Eggs
Step 1: Cook the Eggs
Place the eggs in a large pot and cover them with cool water by about one inch.
Bring the water to a boil over medium heat. Once boiling, cook the eggs for 2–3 minutes, then turn off the heat and cover the pot.
Allow the eggs to sit in the hot water for 7–10 minutes to finish cooking.
Step 2: Cool the Eggs
Drain the hot water and refill the pot with cold water. Let the eggs sit for 2–3 minutes to cool. This helps stop the cooking process and makes the eggs easier to peel.
Step 3: Prepare the Filling
Peel the eggs and slice them lengthwise.
Remove the yolks and place them in a bowl. Add:
- Boursin cheese
- mayo
- Sea salt & pepper
Blend the mixture until it becomes smooth and creamy.
Step 4: Fill the Egg Whites
Spoon or pipe the creamy filling back into the egg whites.
Step 5: The Finishing Touch
Enjoy as is or sprinkle some crushed crackers on top for some crunch!
Expert Tips
Use slightly older eggs.
Eggs that are a few days old tend to peel more easily after boiling.
Blend the filling well.
Using a hand blender or food processor creates an ultra-smooth deviled egg filling.
Pipe for a professional look.
Transfer the filling into a piping bag or plastic bag with the corner cut off for a clean presentation.
Add toppings right before serving.
This keeps the crackers crispy instead of soggy.
Recipe Variations
One of the best things about this Boursin deviled egg recipe is how easy it is to customize.

2. Spicy Deviled Eggs

3. Smoked Salmon Deviled Eggs

4. Everything Bagel Deviled Eggs
Replace the crushed crackers with everything bagel seasoning.
5. Avocado Deviled Eggs

Storage
Proper storage is important for keeping deviled eggs fresh and safe to eat.
Refrigeration:
Store deviled eggs in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
Shelf life:
They will stay fresh for up to 2 days.
Tip:
If making ahead, store the filling separately from the egg whites and assemble just before serving for the best texture.
Do not freeze deviled eggs, as the egg whites become rubbery when thawed.
FAQs
Can I make Boursin deviled eggs ahead of time?
Yes. You can prepare the filling up to 24 hours in advance and store it in the refrigerator. Fill the eggs shortly before serving for the best texture.
Can I substitute mayonnaise for Greek yogurt?
Absolutely. If you prefer a more traditional deviled egg flavor, replace the Greek yogurt with mayonnaise or sour cream.
What crackers work best for the topping?
Buttery crackers, whole wheat crackers, or even Ritz-style crackers work beautifully. For extra flavor, try herb crackers or seeded crackers.
How do I get smooth deviled egg filling?
Use a food processor, hand mixer, or immersion blender to whip the yolks and cheese mixture until completely smooth.
Why are my deviled eggs watery?
This can happen if the eggs are still warm when mixed. Make sure the eggs are fully cooled before preparing the filling.
