Isn’t it great that deviled eggs are still a thing?

As a little kid we would have deviled eggs at parties, usually the kind of parties that included adults. I began to associate deviled eggs with something that my parents carried over from their childhood or something that was popular to eat in the 1970’s. My mind just flashed to those fondue parties that people had in the 70’s. Why aren’t we having those kind of parties now? Wait, are people having those kind of parties and not inviting me? I have a fondue pot, maybe I should be hosting these parties…

Boiled Eggs

Oh yeah, we were talking about deviled eggs. I LOVE deviled eggs. I used to help my mom make them when we were having those kind of parties that called for deviled eggs. My dad also loves deviled eggs so we have gone from making them for parties to making them on special dad days (e.g. Father’s Day, Birthday, Sundays?). I think whenever we ask him what he wants he typically requests deviled eggs.

Pancetta

Have you noticed the deviled egg making its way to restaurant menus? It is becoming a novelty and a canvas for chefs to show how they have fun with food. I have dined at some nice establishments where they also knew how to make a mean deviled egg. I actually went to a restaurant after seeing a tv show feature their deviled eggs. If you have a favorite spot that serves a mean deviled egg let me know so I can add it to my list of places to visit. I want to eat all the eggs!!

I hope I have converted some of you to be deviled egg enthusiast. I bet you were wondering what to serve at all of those holiday parties and family events. I am fairly certain that showing up with these wont disappoint anyone. Well, it might disappoint the people who don’t like deviled eggs but I say, who needs them anyway?! I am just kidding…but seriously!

The truth is, to make a deviled egg you need to learn about the perfect boil. Making a deviled egg can easily come down to how you boil the egg in the first place. I have lost many an egg to the garbage disposal or if they weren’t up to the task I would have to eat them before they could reach their full potential. I mentioned that the trickiest part about this dish is making sure you have your hard boil technique down. I learned this method a few years ago and I pretty much swear by it. Some of you might have another preferred method, if so, share below! There is nothing wrong with testing out something new.
