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.
