My Egg Deviling Debut

My Egg Deviling Debut

DeviledEggsOkay, so y’all have to promise not to make fun of me when I fess up to this juicy little tidbit (unlike my mother who actually laughed when I came to her for some guidance).  Okay, here goes. . . before this weekend I, at 40-something-years old, had never made deviled eggs. Yes, I know, it’s shocking but true!

I’ve wanted to make them for years, but someone always beats me to the egg boiling, yolk whipping and paprika sprinkling punch. So, since I was hosting Easter dinner this year, I kind of assigned the side dishes and kept the deviled eggs for myself. No pressure or anything.

Since I wanted to impress my friends and husband’s family with my deviling debut, I turned to one of my favorite classic cookbooks and mixed that recipe with a few tips from dear old laughing Mom. I also added a punch of color by dying the peeled egg whites various shades of the rainbow — idea courtesy of Pinterest.

This whole process was so easy and the outcome was delicious. I just can’t believe I waited so long to try my hand at these little guys. I mean, who says you can only serve deviled eggs at family affairs and picnics? So if your Easter baskets runneth over, here’s a tasty way to eat up several of those eggs instead of sprinkling salt on hard boileds for two weeks straight.
