Deviled eggs can be enjoyed in at least 100 ways in my opinion. Taco seasoning, curry powder, or pesto sauce are just few possible variations on the standard recipe. This past weekend I enjoyed some topped with dill and a slice of sweet pickle.
But olives are another way to add some Spanish flair to a such a classic picnic dish. And with olive tapenade, these deviled eggs are definitely ready to party! As a bonus, I spread the extra filling I had leftover onto several buckwheat lentil crackers, which was a delicious combination as well. If you’ve never paired olives with eggs before, get ready to be swept away. They make a delicious duo!
Tapas-Style Deviled Eggs with Olive Tapenade
Ingredients:
- 6 hard-boiled eggs, peeled
- 1/4 cup Cilantro Olive Tapenade
- 2-3 tablespoons mayonnaise
- sea salt, to taste
- paprika, for sprinkling
- cilantro or parsley, optional, for garnish
Directions:
- Slice cooked eggs in half lengthwise. Gently remove yolks and mash with a fork in a medium bowl. Add mayonnaise and blend until smooth.
- Stir in olive tapenade until well incorporated. Add sea salt to taste. (I also stirred in some paprika for colour.)
- Use a small spoon (or plastic bag with a corner snipped) to transfer egg yolk mixture into hollow egg whites. Sprinkle filled eggs with paprika. Cover and chill until ready to serve.
I’m bringing this dish to Allergy Free Wednesdays, Fiesta Friday, and here.

I was so happy to see your delicious egg hopper recipe this week too! Thanks for being such a great hostess!
Great idea addind tapenade to these! And the color from the paprika makes them look beautiful!
Thanks! I always think paprika goes with deviled eggs, but this time I decided to boost the colour of the filling too.
Nice twist on deviled eggs! Looks delicious!

I love eggs, but I never had deviled eggs in my entire life. I think I am really a sheltered child. 😀
But you said EGGS so count me in! Just please, reserve some for me before Selma arrives.
Thank you for bringin these to FF. Enjoy and party all night long! 🙂
I’ve served the classic version (mayo + a bit of mustard) to guests in other countries and they seemed to enjoy them too. Hopefully you can enjoy a taste. They are easy to make. 🙂 If I run out, I’ll be happy to whip up some more for you!
