Best Deviled Egg Recipe| It's a Spread! (2024)

I just love deviled eggs! I look forward to them each Easter. However, I never knew how much I would get addicted to this egg spread.

It’s wonderful with any type of cracker. I enjoyed it the other day with gluten-free crisps. I am snagging this recipe and photo from The Cutting Edge of Ordinary. You must go check out her beautiful blog. She has wonderful recipes and photos. You will be blessed. I love deviled eggs and never thought of making just the filling as a spread. The recipe originated from Katie Lee in a Food & Wine 2009magazine. I tweaked it a bit to meet our family’s need.

    What is the vinegar for?

Where does the vinegar come in??
Alicia Boland 27/08/2015 at 7:04 am - Reply
The vinegar is added to the water that you boil the eggs in. It makes it easier to peel the eggs when cool.

Prep deviled eggs too far in advance, and you'll have dried out filling and stinky boiled egg whites.

This prepping method also applies if you're not even leaving the house.
