When I married a born-and-raised Southerner, I did not know the importance of not only deviled eggs, but good deviled eggs. I was not a fan of them growing up and I never learned how to make them. It wasn’t until I saw a deviled egg plate on a wedding registry that I finally understood why my husband felt so strongly about deviled eggs – I was surprised that no one gifted me a deviled egg plate!
I decided to embrace deviled eggs for my husband’s sake, and I fell in love with the loaded version. My husband approves – he now prefers loaded over regular! Whether you already love deviled eggs or you are new to this realm, these are delicious and will win you over!
They are great anytime, but these loaded deviled eggs will impress everyone at potlucks, picnics, cookouts, parties, or anywhere you decide to take them. You might even want to get a deviled egg plate to show off your glorious work!
Enjoy!
