Spicy devilled eggs – USA

Classic devilled eggs

Devilled eggs are a beloved appetizer and party staple, made by halving hard-boiled eggs lengthwise and carefully removing the yolks. The yolks are then mashed and mixed with mayonnaise, mustard, and seasonings to create a creamy, tangy filling that’s piped or spooned back into the egg white halves. While classic recipes stick to simple ingredients like salt, pepper, and paprika for garnish, modern variations might include additions like Chillies, bacon, fresh herbs, sriracha, or even caviar. These bite-sized treats earned their “devilled” name from the spicy seasonings traditionally used in the filling, following an 18th-century culinary term where “devilling” food meant to make it spicy or zesty.
