A “deviled egg” is a dish consisting of hard-boiled eggs that are peeled, cut in half, and filled with a savory filling, often made from egg yolks mixed with mayonnaise, mustard, and other ingredients. The term “deviled” in this context does not refer to the spiciness of the dish, but rather to its zesty or piquant flavor.
Deviled eggs are a popular appetizer or side dish at parties and gatherings, and various recipes exist, each with its unique combination of ingredients and flavors. Some common variations include adding chopped pickles, bacon, or chives to the filling. Deviled eggs can also be garnished with paprika, fresh herbs, or a drizzle of olive oil.
