Kelly JensenThese Deviled Eggs with Olives are a quick and tasty appetizer for a cookout, potluck, or holiday- a briny tasty side dish everyone will love.
These green olive deviled eggs are a fun and simple appetizer that is always a crowd-pleaser at our parties. Vegetarian, high in protein, and SO good!
It’s not a party without deviled eggs! That’s always been my family’s motto and for every single holiday gathering, BBQ, or get-together there were always deviled eggs at the table. These deviled eggs with olives are a creamy and briny appetizer, great for anyone who loves olives (hand firmly raised)!
I love the little slices of green olive and pimento on each egg… it feels very 1950s to me. I love digging through old retro cookbooks, and I feel like every single appetizer of the 1950s was garnished with sliced olives. Check an old cookbook out from the library sometime, you’ll see what I mean!

What’s In These Green Olive Deviled Eggs?
- Hard-boiled eggs: use my easy-peel method for perfect hardboiled eggs every single time! Seriously, not a single shell with stick to the eggs! You can use fresh eggs or ones that are closer to the expiration, and it won’t matter.
- Classic Mayonnaise: I like to use this classic mayo to keep this recipe plant-based, but you can use whatever mayo that you would normally use in recipes. If you don’t normally like mayo, try my homemade dairy-free version… it’s creamy but still plant based.
- Green Olives with Pimento: classic green olives have a great color and delicious earthy flavor – I like using these green olive with pimento, which are greatrto have stocked in the pantry or refrigerator.
- Whole Grain or Dijon Mustard – for a really nice flavor and texture, you can use either whole grain mustard, stone ground, or Dijon.
- Sweet Relish – to give this dish a little extra sweetness. I love this classic sweet relish which has a nice crunch and a sweet and tangy flavor. It’s great in this salad (like a secret ingredient!) and also great to have on the table for burgers or hot dogs.
- Pink Himalayan Sea Salt: I like to use a pink Himalayan Sea Salt in my kitchen, which has more natural minerals than plain processed table salt. It’s fairly inexpensive, so I’d recommend this salt if you’re looking for an easy way to level up your spice pantry.
- Tellicherry Peppercorns: Like the salt, it’s amazing the flavor difference you can get with really good tellicherry black pepper. Amazon has a generic brand tellicherry peppercorn which is the same price is buying pre-ground, and has a million times more flavor… so I use these really great tellicherry peppercorns, which I would definitely recommend.
- Paprika – to garnish – for a hint of spice and great flavor!
Make Olive Deviled Eggs Vegetarian for a Healthy Version
This creamy olive deviled eggs recipe is a simple way to get extra protein in your diet. I’m all about making recipes plant-based when I can. Vegetarian cooking does NOT have to be bland, boring, or flavorless… It’s quite the opposite when done right. By building meals around vegetarian pantry staples and swapping in a few plant-based ingredients you can make healthier meals for you and your family. I made a list of my 125 favorite vegan pantry ingredients that we use on a weekly basis, and check out all my vegetarian recipes here that are on The Herbeevore. These easy and healthy recipes are fantastic meatless meals for your table.
Make Pimento Deviled Eggs Ahead of Time!
This pimento deviled eggs recipe is a fantastic and simple one to make ahead. Great for a busy weeknight, for entertaining, or just for those nights when you don’t feel like cooking. I like to prep a dozen eggs the day before I serve them, and refrigerate overnight. Having ready cooked smacks or appetizers in the fridge or freezer is a great way to enjoy home cooked meals when you don’t have time in the kitchen. Check out all my make ahead meals on The Herbeevore for some inspo to help you prep, keep, heat, and heat!
