Classic Deviled Eggs

Classic Deviled Eggs

Sharing is caring!

Whenever the conversation of eggs comes up, Lenny is the first to say “Denise doesn’t like eggs”. It isn’t that I dislike eggs, I actually love eggs.  What I dislike is when eggs are not cooked properly. Something I dislike even more is when a good egg is not made into amazing deviled eggs. I tend to lean more towards classic deviled eggs made with a touch of mayo and mustard. A little creamy but not too creamy. I still like to taste the egg.  This recipe is exactly that a classic that you can rely on time and time again.

Classic Deviled Eggs

 

When I say I only like eggs that are cooked properly I am not kidding.  I am the person who grumbles when the yolk is not runny in a poached egg or when scrambled eggs are dry and not creamy.  Don’t get me started on hard-boiled as the green ring that wraps around a yolk when an egg is overcooked will put me over the edge.  I have a foolproof recipe for the perfect hard-boiled eggs which are definitely the star for my classic deviled egg recipe.  

This recipe is a good one to have on hand as Easter is around the corner, and most if you have littles at home there will have an abundance of hard-boiled eggs on hand. I tend to make this recipe often during the spring as it is perfect as a light lunch or even a little nibble before dinner.  Kids love the creamy eggs as an afternoon snack too.
