Deviled Egg Day
November 2 · Level 3 · #1674 of 2238
A day for the party snack made from hard-boiled eggs: halve them, mash the yolks with seasonings and spoon the filling back in. The idea is simple, yet the variations are almost endless.
How it is celebrated: cooks fill the whites with mustard and mayonnaise, paprika, fresh herbs, or even something fancier, then set out platters at picnics and parties. A tasting where everyone brings their own filling works well.
In cooking, "deviled" means spicy or highly seasoned, which is why mustard, paprika and cayenne show up so often in the filling.
