Classic Deviled Eggs

Classic Deviled Eggs are made with just a few simple ingredients. A quick and hard-to-resist appetizer that is always a hit at parties and family gatherings!

Easter Sunday is on the horizon, and this Classic Deviled Egg recipe can be your quick fix for a perfect party appetizer. Quick like this..

• Boil the eggs.
• Slice cooled eggs in half lengthwise.
• Carefully remove yolks to a bowl and set whites aside.
• Mash the yolks and add mayo, mustard, vinegar, and salt & pepper.
• Fill whites with yolk mixture.
• Sprinkle with paprika.
• Refrigerate until serving.

So simple and I ask myself (along with Zach), “Why don’t I make these more often?” 🙂

These Classic Deviled Eggs remind me of my mom’s famous potato salad, except she used Miracle Whip instead of mayonnaise. Don’t worry. I’ll share that one with you this summer, when potato salad is the perfect go-to salad for many a barbeque. And Norma Jean’s was the BEST!

Zach gobbled up most of these “test-run” eggs at dinner the other night. It took me awhile to notice, but they would have been gone if I hadn’t stopped him. “Whoa boy! Take it easy on those eggs!”
