BellaOnline Forums Family Work & Family Does Anyone Make Deviled Eggs Anymore??

I just read a poem about a child's memory of picnics with small deviled ham sandwiches and lovely deviled eggs. The poem brought back good memories. Anyone here who still makes deviled eggs. I have not had them in ages, but I do love them <img src="/images/graemlins/heart.gif" alt="" />

LOL! About everyone who is losing weight on low carb diets is making deviled eggs at some point. Yep, they are delightful and always gone halfway through a party. I think of these as party food, and rarely make them except when I have a mission to bring an appetizer. At least I know I can eat the eggs without having a crisis of elevated blood sugar.

Now that they are in my head, I think I have to make some soon <img src="/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" /> Maybe just 1/2 dozen.

Mary Ellen you are right--I guess I think of them as party food also. If I boil an egg, which is seldom these days, I am doing to it make egg salad. Which I also love. I always use Colemans dry mustard in both. Yum!

Yum!! I love deviled eggs. We always have them at Easter. And they aren't healthy for you, but we have to spoil ourselves sometimes <img src="/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

Occasionally I make them at home, I boil two eggs and my husband and I get two halves each! At our astronomy club X-mas party, someone always brings them and they are the first to go. If you like it that much, why wait for a party?

I think the health factor is a part of the reason and the other is that they are party food. However, according to the American Egg Board <http://www.aeb.org/food/eggs-health.html> it is o.k. to have an egg a day. And if we stop thinking of them as party food <img src="/images/graemlins/music.gif" alt="" /> a deviled egg with sliced tomatoes, a few leaves of letttuce and a glass of iced tea will make a nice lunch.

Firefly,

Making a couple at a time is a great idea. I will remember to do that. I have to laugh when you say they are the first to go. Once I went to what turned out to be 'bring only fancy food to the party' gathering. What did I bring?? deviled eggs. I sat them proudly on the table and they were the first to go. I have a beautiful deviled egg server.

OF course my tongue was out for one of those deviled eggs, but I was so busy coordinating the food, I was one of the last to fix a plate, and there was not a devil in sight. I learned my lesson! The next year I had people bring more, and snagged one while I was setting up the table. Ah, the perks of being the hostess! <img src="/images/graemlins/devil.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/images/graemlins/devil.gif" alt="" />

I make deviled eggs a lot. My kids actually request them from time to time.

Thanks guys. I was not sure if people still enjoyed eggs prepared this way. Your answers got my little gray cells to working, don't be surprised if you see an article on eggs (deviled) sometime in the future <img src="/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />
