Classic Easy Deviled Eggs Recipe - Crafting a Family Dinner (2024)

this …

Classic easy deviled eggs are a traditional appetizer recipe for the holidays. A classic rich and cream center this recipe has the basic ingredients without relish. This classic recipe has an easy to make filling that can be spooned or piped into the creamy white hard-boiled egg halves.

I first remember deviled eggs as a classic appetizer that my mother would make for every family party. This traditionsoon became a must have on the Easter dinner table🐰. What is Easter without eggs, hard boiled, chocolate, decorative, plastic, and deviled?

Eggs are a symbol of spring, new life, and rebirth all the symbols of the Easter holiday.

My first memories of deviled eggs were when my mother and father would have Bible studies at the house. My mother would play the piano and serve coffee and tea in the sterling silver tea set. Along with the tea, she would serve hearty appetizers. One of the traditional classic appetizers she would serve as a classic deviled egg. This is the recipe I am sharing along with a new version that came to our family with our new son-in-law, Ben.

Deviled eggs, we’re also a favorite when we would vacation. As hard-boiled eggs are easy to travel. My aunt Lois used to always serve deviled eggs as a side dish to a picnic lunch on the road. As long as you had ice to refrigerate the hard-boiled eggs 🥚and the mayonnaise you were good to go. Eggs are an excellent source of protein. We were never without an ample supply of hard-boiled eggs at the beginning of any vacation, when I traveled with my Aunt Lois or later when we would drive to Florida 🏖with the kids.

Another fun and flavorful use for deviled eggs are when I diet. I will make light deviled eggs for a quick lunch, halving the mayonnaise for a light sour cream and perhaps plain yogurt.

2. When the water begins to boil, cover with the pan lid and turn off the heat. Leave on the burner
3. Let sit for 11 minutes.

5. When eggs have cooled, remove from the water and pat dry with a paper towel.
6. Carefully peel off the outer eggshell. (I usually make more eggs then I need as some do not peel well and do not look nice to serve for guests)
7. Cut peeled egg in half length-wise.
