National Deviled Egg Day

Deviled eggs simple enough for week night supper  but one that has become a tradition at our house during the holidays. Big family dinners will see deviled eggs on the table. No need to get set in our ways as there is a grand variety of ways to prepare and serve devile eggs. Wether you add onions, cayenne, spices, bacon, whatever it may be fix them the way you love them. Mix it all together, taste it to make sure that you like it. That ensures they will be great for those that you love. I would go as far to say that nearly everyone has potential to make deviled eggs. They were one of the early dishes my parents let me help prepare for the holidays

you can top them with paprika, bacon, chives, smoked salmon, caviar, or minced smoked ham and pass as hors d’œuvres before dinner. These traditional Southern favorites always go fast.
