Delicious Deviled Eggs
I’m convinced that deviled eggs are the best way to get an anti-egg-eater into the egg club. I personally don’t like boiled eggs, and I can barely take the texture of fried or scrambled eggs. If I have eggs one morning for breakfast, it’s really hard for me to get into having it on day two (aka I usually don’t). But the one exception for me when it comes to eggs, is deviled eggs!
Perhaps it’s the unbelievably dry yoke in a normal boiled egg that spins me wrong, but this recipe mixes in some moistness to fix that right up. I am not one for mayo either, but in deviled eggs? You bet! Classic stuffed eggs are a much loved dish that children and adults alike enjoy. With it being such a crowd-pleaser you’d assume it’d be difficult to make. But, no!
This recipe takes only 20-minutes to make (after boiling and cooling your eggs), it requires zero baking or frying, making this possibly thee easiest appetizers around. Not only do these eggs taste delicious, but they’re actually quite fancy-looking, too! #Fancy Whenever I bring these babies to a party, they are usually gone within minutes (not even exaggerating).
