This well-loved food wows guests during the holidays. Designers have even created specially designed carrying dishes and plates just so you can deliver your deviled eggs safely and in style. The deli section of the grocery store prepares packaged deviled eggs. They can even be found in some convenience stores, too.
Other names for this devilish dish include eggs mimosa, stuffed egg, salad eggs, or dressed egg. To make them, shell hard-boiled eggs, cut them in half, and scoop out the yolk. The yolk is mixed with other ingredients such as mayonnaise and mustard and then added back into the white. The possibilities are endless!
Eggs are quite versatile when it comes to making simple dishes elegant. The deviled egg is another example of taking the humble egg and transforming it with one or two simple ingredients. The final result steals the show. Colorful relishes, spicy peppers, pimentos or savory herbs, elevate deviled eggs to a spectacular and tasty morsel. Additionally, the variety offers entirely new flavor profiles demonstrating just how delicious this family favorite can be.
Adding Variety
Other approaches make them a little more creamy with sour cream. Do you like things a little more tart? Try adding vinegar to the filling. Depending on how you make them, it may be possible to satisfy just about every palate. From the traditional paprika garnish to crunchy bacon, or a little caviar, anchovy or herring, there is some devilish experimenting any cook can do.
The first known print reference referring to the term “deviled” about food, appeared in 1786. By the 19th century, devilish referred to spicy or zesty food. The term also applied to eggs prepared with mustard, pepper, or other ingredients stuffed in the yolk cavity.

I use room temperature salted butter and Hellmann’s for both deviled eggs and egg salad. A little sugar also!
I think I’ll try a little Pesto Sauce added for Thanksgiving..................
Chop them up and make Egg Salad.......................
Pesto sauce sounds interesting.
So does horseradish.
I’m liking some of the ideas I’m seeing here.
Deviled Eggs and beer let your presence e known.
Can anyone share their tricks/techniques for boiling/peeling eggs without the eggs falling apart?
We’re on it here at work today! Between last night and early this AM, I made 72 halves! Served with carrot & celery sticks and Marie’s creamy ranch! Yum!
Eggs... hmm... reminds me of something...
Hellman’s is superb. So is Kewpie...it can be found in Asian stores. Delicious.
Never been to Asia..................
Yumm....sounds like Julia.
My dogs love my experiments..
Put eggs out of refrigerator for a while, room temp is good. Boil a lot of water. Put eggs gently in boiling water with tongs. Turn down water to med boil. Cook for 9 minutes. Drain and put some very cold water on them. Wait a minute. Take out and let set for a few minutes. The shells should come off easy.
Why is it called egg ‘salad’ when there is no salad in it?...............
Probably someone used homemade mayo - not a good idea for anything that’ll be ‘out’ for more than a few hours.
