Deviled Eggs -- A Definite for Easter!

What do you serve for Easter? We like a traditional menu – we glaze a ham (click here), make potato salad and buy Sister Schubert’s yeast rolls (click here). We’ll fill in with something green -- say steamed asparagus or green beans -- and we always, always serve Deviled Eggs.

One nice thing about cooking for Easter is that it’s straightforward, and a lot of boiled eggs are required. We’re definitely going to decorate a few, but it’s just as easy to boil a bunch of eggs as it is to boil one or two. (Click here for egg boiling how-to’s.)

So some of our eggs will end up in Easter baskets, a couple will go into the potato salad and a dozen or so will make it to the table delectably deviled. Have you ever noticed how people just adore Deviled Eggs? I love to spy on what people pick to eat at a potluck, and Deviled Eggs are always the first to go!

Our Deviled Egg recipe is from our Cheap. Fast. Good! cookbook and it’s very basic – simply good might be the best description. But you can get creative with the yolk filling – stir in anything from capers to horseradish to baby salad shrimp. Our friend and Kitchen Scoop Guest Blogger Debbie Moose has written a whole cookbook on Deviled Eggs (click here), and her creative recipes range from Crabby Eggs to Pimento Cheese Deviled Eggs.
