Deviled Egg Crostini for SafeEggs! Deviled Egg Salad on top of toasted bread, what could be better? Use up all those dyed eggs from Easter and make egg salad!
I remember the day like it was yesterday. It was our first summer in Washington and Phoebe, my oldest, was learning how to ride her bike. The training wheels were off and there was excitement (and a little fear) in the air. She did amazingly well and only fell down a couple of times.
She enjoyed it so much she didn’t want to come inside so I left to go make a quick snack while she stayed on her bike with my husband standing close by. About 30 minutes later, they came inside, exhausted and hungry. I had just whipped up a huge platter of deviled eggs and crostini (my kids are obsessed with French bread baguettes) and they ate the entire plate within 5-10 minutes.
It surprised me because usually my kids gawk and complain when there are egg yolks involved but they devoured every last bit of every deviled egg and didn’t even mind the smoked paprika on top. Fortunately, my kids inherited my love for eggs and now deviled eggs and hard-boiled eggs are one of their favorites. I love this because of all the protein and vitamins (including vitamin A, potassium and many B vitamins like folic acid, choline and biotin) they get! And did you know, the yolk is where many of the vitamins and nutrients are found?!
Deviled Egg Crostini
So now I always feel somewhat celebratory when eating deviled eggs, egg salad or any kind of egg period with my daughter because I remember that glorious day a few years ago when she learned how to ride her bike.
So call this an egg salad crostini or deviled egg crostini . . just try this recipe! I hope you enjoy!
Deviled Egg Crostini
Ingredients
- 6 large eggs
- 1 stalk celery finely diced
- 2 to 3 green onions finely diced + more for garnish if desired
- 2 tablespoons mayonnaise split
- ½ teaspoon Dijon mustard
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 to 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- French bread baguette sliced
- Pickled red onions for garnish chopped (see separate recipe card below)
Instructions
- Place eggs in a pot of water and place over high heat. Once the water begins to boil, turn the heat down to medium-high and continue to boil for about 6-8 minutes. Remove from the eggs from the water and place into a separate bowl with cold water to help the eggs cool down. Peel the shells off and slice the eggs in half, lengthwise.
- Remove the cooked yolk from the eggs, place into a medium-sized bowl and mix together with a spoon. Chop up all of the cooked egg whites and set aside. In the bowl with the cooked egg yolks, add in the celery, green onions, 1 tablespoon of mayonnaise, the Dijon mustard and the salt and pepper. Mix well, taste and adjust any seasonings as needed.
- Add the cooked chopped egg whites to the mixture and the remaining tablespoon of mayonnaise. Mix together well and set aside.
- Using a large non-stick pan over medium-high heat, heat the olive oil for a minute or two. Add the baguette slices and heat for a few minutes on each side or until nicely browned on both sides. Remove from the pan and place onto your serving platter.
- To assemble the crostini: place about a tablespoon of the deviled egg mixture onto each toasted baguette slice and top with the pickled red onions and more diced green onions. Enjoy!
- ½ of one large red onion; thinly sliced
- 1 cup white vinegar or apple cider vinegar
- ½ cup water
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- Heaping ½ cup granulated sugar
- Special Equipment suggested: Mason jar with lid
- Blanch the sliced red onions in a saucepan of boiling water for 2 minutes. Drain and place directly into mason jar/s.
- Heat the vinegar, water, salt and sugar in a small saucepan over high heat, whisking until all of the sugar is dissolved. Bring to a light boil and then pour over the onions. Let sit until the onions have softened more and the liquid has cooled, for about 25-30 minutes.
- The onions will keep for several weeks in the refrigerator in the covered Mason jar.

I love deviled eggs! Your pickled onions sound perfect on them!
I love that you made deviled eggs into crostini (with tasty pickled onions to boot!). These look sooooo good!
I love how you turned a comforting, picnic food into an elegant appetizer! I can see why these disappeared in a flash!!!
Do you deliver?! These look so so good!
It sounds like your daughter conquered bike riding very quickly…very impressive. 🙂
Great idea to add green onion to the egg salad and the pickled red onions…WOW!
So pretty! Love the fact you did on crostinis!! YUMMY!
Crostini is one of my favorite appetizers because it’s so easy to make! The pickled red onions really make the crostini stand out. Love it!
Oh my gosh – these are beautiful little bites indeed! I love how something so simple and classic can be so amazing!
What a great idea! A wonderful appetizer to have at a party or simply just to eat anytime of the day!
I’m going to a picnic this afternoon and I’ve been going back and forth on what to make. You’ve just made up my mind! This is perfect!
oh really?! Hooray! pls let me know how you like them! Thank you, Susan!
Loving this recipe, ESPECIALLY because of those pickled red onions. I love love love pickledo onions… they bring so much flavor to the party!
Thanks so much, Chris! Agreed! 🙂 Happy Sunday!
Nice memory, and beautiful eggs! Pickled red onions…yes!
That looks delicious! Love the pickled red onion garnish, the color complements the crostini perfectly. 🙂
What a great idea! I love that your kids are hopping on the eggs train too. They’re so good!
What a fantastic idea for egg salad… I can imagine the crunch factor!
I love deviled eggs too. Every time I have them I think of my mom, who always made them for me. And now your kids have that same memory planted in them. And really love them with the pickled onions! (The eggs, not your kids :-))
It’s amazing how random foods connect us to certain memories! My little guy is obsessed with hard boiled eggs lately, so he would love these!
These are gorgeous! I love deviled eggs and what a great and interesting way to present them!
These are the prettiest deviled eggs ever! Your little garnish on top gives them a Spring-y look 🙂
Holy moly does this look so delish! I simply had to share it today! And I love Safest Choice Eggs!
Phoebe is as total boss. I’m so glad she’s learning to ride a bike now while she’s young, instead of an old scaredy-cat like me. I hope you don’t think this is weird but I’m proud of her! After meeting her (albeit only briefly) and reading about her through your blog and your emails, I feel like she’s a little niece and I love celebrating her accomplishments with you! I wish I could also share this plate of deviled egg crostinis with y’all – my mouth is straight up watering. I LOOOOOOOVE eggs prepared in any way, shape or form. These are just gorgeous!
Awww, I love “food memories” like that. I wish I had more good ones, but for some reason my brain holds onto a lot of strange and negative ones. Like, I’ll always remember that I was eating huevos rancheros for dinner the night they FINALLY caught the Boston bomber after that manhunt. I had been watching on TV all day, barely able to tear myself away. Finally, I was starving, and just wanted to make something quick. I can make huevos in 5 minutes, so that’s what I did. And I guess I’ll just always remember that. I need to associate a new, more positive memory with that dish!
I never liked egg yolks when I was kid, but LOVED egg salad or deviled eggs! I’m going to try this for my kids!
Everything about this dish looks fantastic and especially the pickled red onions! Nice!
I want to eat these for lunch, Alice! Such a delicious dish – great for Easter or Spring and Summer parties! Love ’em!
