Deviled Eggs

Deviled eggs are a total throw back to the days when ambrosia salad reigned supreme. However, they are still beloved and can still cause a buzz in the kitchen for good reason. They are a little bit indulgent and totally delicious. They are also super easy to make.

There are many different variations now a days but sometimes the traditional is best. If you do want to try some fun and tasty variations check out my roasted red pepper deviled egg, garum masala deviled eggs or smokey bacon deviled eggs RECIPE HERE. They are all pictured below.

Hard boil the eggs using my method below and it will help you when it comes to peeling the egg. 90 percent of the time these eggs are easy to peel. I have had that off batch that was a little trickier but this way does work well.

Also, you can make these eggs as rustic or as elegant as you would like. I personally don’t mind them looking rustic but I have used a piping back before to make them look more polished, so it is up to you.
