Deviled Eggs

Today is National Deviled Egg Day!

To celebrate the day, I have posted recipes  with variations and a  link for many more deviled egg recipes from the "Deviled Egg Gourmet"

Always keep your deviled eggs well-chilled, taking additional precautions in the summer months. Not a good idea to eat deviled eggs left out of the refrigerator for more than an hour or so, especially during hot weather.


Adapt the recipes to suit your lifestyle . . . use light mayonnaise to help cut down on the calories from fat to accommodate low cholesterol and low fat diet plans (with 50% less fat than regular mayonnaise). My choice is Hellman’s . . . regular mayonnaise will produce a creamier result.
