Get Your Party Started With These 11 Deviled Egg Recipes (2)

Deviled eggs are one of America's best-loved snacks. Whether they're served as part of an Easter spread, as a party or potluck appetizer, or a game day snack, they're sure to disappear quickly. Kids and adults alike love these portable, hand-held bites filled with an easy mixture of mashed, hard-cooked egg yolk, plus mayonnaise, and simple seasonings. The fillings are easy to tweak with all sorts of spices, and other add-ins, making deviled eggs an especially versatile snack.

You don't need to wait for a special occasion (or a particular season) to enjoy deviled eggs. Nibble on them during work-from-home days, add them to meals or pack them into school lunchboxes any day of the year. And, when you do want to serve them for a party, deviled eggs are one of the easiest appetizers to prepare, especially if you boil eggs ahead of time, and stash them in the fridge.

For serving, you can arrange the eggs on lettuce-lined platters, decorated with cherry tomatoes or large green olives (if you like) for extra color. You can also use a piping bag to pipe the filling into the halved, cooked egg whites for a neat presentation.

How to Make Easy-to-Peel Hard Boiled Eggs:

For hard-boiled eggs that are magically easy to peel, simply add a pinch of baking soda to the boiling water for eggs, and plunge the cooked eggs into a bowl of cold water to sit for several minutes immediately after they finish cooking.

Why Are These Eggs Called "Deviled"?

In the 19th century, the term "deviled" became popular to describe any spicy or zesty foods. Since deviled eggs are frequently made with mustard and pepper, this term became associated with the filling used to stuff a hard-boiled egg cavity.
