Every 100 kcal of deviled egg brings 5.8 g of protein. On that measure it ranks 17th of the 20 eggs in this database and 419th of all 796 foods on the site. Measured by weight instead, its 11.5 g per 100 g ranks 14th in its group.
Around 23% of the calories in deviled egg come from protein, so it is moderately protein-dense. It contributes to a day's protein total, but the bulk of what it delivers is energy rather than amino acids - treat it as a contributor alongside a denser source, not as the protein in a meal.
By weight, fat outweighs protein in deviled egg: 15.9 g of fat per 100 g against 11.5 g of protein, a ratio of 0.7 to 1.
Set against egg white, another egg entry in the database, a serving carries about 0.1 g less protein (egg white has 3.6 g per 1 large white).
It is a complete protein - it supplies all nine essential amino acids in adequate amounts, so it can carry a meal's protein on its own. The serving quoted here is counted by piece at 30 g, and it covers about 7% of the 50 g FDA Daily Value for protein.

11.5 g. The 1 piece serving used on this page weighs 30 g and so carries 3.5 g.
5.8 g. That figure divides its 11.5 g of protein per 100 g by its 198 kcal per 100 g, so it does not depend on serving size.
Yes. The protein in deviled egg supplies all nine essential amino acids in adequate amounts, so it can carry a meal's protein on its own.
About 7%. One 1 piece serving has 3.5 g, and the FDA Daily Value for protein is 50 g.
