I was looking at my editorial calendar the other day and I noticed that National Deviled Egg Day was coming up. Just in case you didn't know, the USA has all kinds of crazy foodie holidays. As an avid food lover, I'm all about nonsensical holidays that celebrate food!
Whoever decided to declare deviled egg a holiday should get an award or something because deviled eggs are so damn good.
Classic deviled eggs are a staple for Easter and Thanksgiving in our house, but deviled eggs are good served just about any time. Serve them up at a barbecue, make a batch to take tailgating, or even serve them at a baby shower brunch! I honestly believe deviled eggs are so versatile that they could accompany any meal.
While plain, traditional deviled eggs are absolutely amazing as is, they are kind of like a blank palette that you can dress up any way you like.
For this batch of deviled eggs, I decided to load them up with all of my favorite toppings. You've got crisp, salty bacon, bold sharp cheddar, and zingy horseradish mustard in these babies. A sprinkle of chives gives the eggs a fresh flair and a pretty presentation, too.
Don't they look irresistible? I may or may not have eaten a half a dozen of them right after I took these photos.
If you're not into mustard, try these Deviled Eggs Without Mustard. They are so good, too!
If you love deviled eggs, I am sure you'll love this recipe. If you're throwing a big bash and serving lots of people, I suggest doubling the recipe. They will disappear before your eyes!
If you try them, I'd love to know what you think in the comments below! Hooray for National Deviled Egg Day!
