If you’re wondering what to serve with your deviled eggs, you’ve come to the right place.
In this article, I list 45 of the most popular side dishes for deviled eggs.
In a rush? Here’s the short answer.
The best dishes to serve with deviled eggs are pickled onions, smoked salmon pinwheels, bacon-wrapped little smokies, and potato salad. For something more unusual, try padron peppers, or cilantro lime pasta salad. To make the eggs a main meal, serve them alongside glazed ham or smoked brisket.
Ready? Let’s jump right in.
Psst… If you end up with thin, runny deviled eggs I experimented to find out the best way to thicken them.
Appetizers
Deviled eggs are excellent finger food, so it’s a no-brainer to serve them alongside other tasty appetizers.
I love antipasto skewers because they’re so easy to make and look super elegant.
But you can also keep it simple with crunchy veggie cups or make it indulgent with pizza rolls.
Bacon-wrapped little smokies
Everything’s better wrapped in bacon – especially little smokies!
And this recipe goes the extra mile by rolling the wrapped smokies in a mixture of cayenne pepper and brown sugar before roasting them for a sweet and spicy kick.
Pssst… for best results, use thin-cut bacon.
Serve these treats alongside a platter of deviled eggs to complete your party spread.
Why we love this recipe: these will be gone in a flash.

Cookout items
Deviled eggs are a must-have for any cookouts!
Enjoy them with saucy, sticky ribs for a finger-lickingly good meal or a potato salad if you want something more fresh.
Herb and mustard potato salad
Potato salads are a staple at picnics and potlucks!
I love the traditional mayo version as much as the next person, but this recipe is a game changer.
Instead of a mayo-based dressing, it features a light herb and mustard vinaigrette that’s finger-lickingly good.
Psst… you can serve this salad warm or cold.
Why we love this recipe: you can make this ahead of time for a tastier potato salad.

Deviled egg salad
Deviled eggs are fabulous appetizers, but if you want to switch things up, why not transform them into a salad?

Light lunch options
Deviled eggs are often served as a side dish, but they work great as a light main dish too.
I love them with a classic BLT sandwich, but you can also go with a basic leafy salad to keep it healthy.
BLT sandwich
Eggs and bacon are a traditional pairing, so why not swap your potato chips side for some deviled eggs!
This classic sandwich is straightforward, but an easy way to jazz the recipe up is to switch the sauce.
Make it fancy by using garlic aioli or spice it up with sriracha mayo – get creative!
