Recipe Notes

Deviled eggs are really simple to make and can be a big hit at your picnic or cocktail party. The term “deviled” came from recipes in the 18th century that used mustard or other spices in the recipe. By the early 19th century, the term “deviling” came to be synonymous with making food spicy. These days that means adding mustard to the yolks to get traditional deviled eggs. Deviled Eggs »
