How do you make deviled eggs creamy, not lumpy? Get out your food processor: If you mix the yolks in your food processor with the mayonnaise and mustard, it will make the filling light and fully emulsified, like a mousse.

Why do my deviled eggs get watery? ›

When eggs are cooked too quickly, over high heat, the protein seizes as it cools and water leeches out.
