12 Creative Ways to Make Deviled Eggs

Is your refrigerator still full of colored eggs? We took it easy this year and only dyed about 18 eggs, and I think we still have at least 10 left. As much as I love a hard boiled egg with salt and pepper (or Cajun seasoning!) sprinkled on top, an even bigger treat is to make deviled eggs. Not only is this great for leftover Easter eggs, deviled eggs are also a welcome guest at all those summer picnics and BBQs coming up! Today I’m going to share with you a dozen creative ways to make deviled eggs from some talented folks, but first, don’t you want to know why they are called deviled eggs?

Deviled eggs actually started in ancient Rome, as an appetizer for the wealthy, although the method and seasonings were much different then. They made their way to Europe in the 13th century and to cookbooks in the United States in the mid 1800s. The term “deviled” in recipes refers to a food that is made spicy. Interestingly, deviled eggs were sometimes called stuffed eggs or dressed eggs at church functions to avoid a reference to satan. (Nobody wants the devil up in their church potluck.)

I love the classic version of deviled eggs with mustard, mayo, and seasoning. There is so much more you can do with these tasty treats though. Check out this collection of creative recipes, and be sure to leave a comment letting me know which one you’ll try first!

they all look delish–so much creativity! Another few I’ve heard of and/or tried: For Easter we smoke (as in grill/smoke) hard-cooked eggs and they make the most delicious deviled eggs/egg salad etc. And one I’ve heard of, but not tried, is pan-fried deviled eggs. Guess they’re stuffed, then “fried” topping-side-down, which makes for a nice crunch. What fun!

You had a lovely Easter, I trust? Looks like you’re moving full-speed ahead with Weary Chef. Which ironically would make you a Wearier Chef. But as long as you’re still smiling :-D

Hi, Liz! I have not heard of fried deviled eggs, but now I’ll have to go look that up! You are absolutely right that my blog has only made me more weary, but I’m loving it! I need to change my about page to say that I’m weary because I’m writing/cooking/taking pictures/marketing every chance I get! When I was just being a mom those days were easy ;)
