Deviled eggs are a classic recipe and perfect for the holidays, Easter, potlucks, parties and other gatherings.
My best deviled eggs recipe is a combination of a few simple ingredients including hard boiled eggs, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, vinegar, salt and pepper. That’s it. Along with a little sprinkle of paprika that extra pop of flavor.
Deviled eggs win as a healthy snacks or appetizer. They’re easy to make, only have a handful of ingredients and most people love them.
I’ve loved them for years, but it wasn’t until recently that I asked the question that had long been rolling around in my brain – “why are deviled eggs called that?”
Ah, makes sense. And now you can rest assured that there’s nothing truly sinister about deviled eggs!
Ingredients:
large eggs (hard-boiled, cooled & halved)
6 slices bacon (cooked crisp & crumbled)
2 teaspoons fresh chives
2 teaspoons white vinegar
2 tablespoons finely shredded mild cheddar cheese
1⁄4 cup sour cream or 1⁄4 cup buttermilk
paprika
Instructions:
Transfer egg yolks from halves to mixing bowl & combine with remaining ingredients.
Add the sour cream or buttermilk last & use more as needed to reach desired smoothness.
Spoon yolk mixture into halves. The bulk will have grown substantially, so pile it high & “dust” with a sprinkle of paprika.
Enjoy!
