California-Style Devilled Eggs
California-Style Devilled Eggs that includes sun-dried tomatoes, basil, balsamic vinegar. This recipe makes for the perfect appetizer!
California-Style Devilled Eggs
Making the traditional devilled egg is incredible, yet there’s a ton of variations as well. For instance, I adore the Salsa Deviled Eggs that I make, when I need that spicy kick.
Here’s another that you’ll love!
Every Christmas Eve we host a gathering where only appetizers is served. This means that one task of mine during the holiday season is to decide on what I’ll be serving our guests.
Over the years I have accumulated a list of favourites, yet I do like to change up the same-old and put a different spin on even the classic recipes.
One dish on the menu that is always a hit when entertaining is devilled eggs, it’s like an appetizer staple!
When faced with all the treats and food indulgences during the holidays, it’s nice to include healthy and protein-packed eggs in the menu as well.
So this year when contemplating a new spin on devilled eggs, where do you turn for ideas? Eggs.ca of course!
I finally settled on California-Style Devilled Eggs. I just couldn’t resist the addition of sun-dried tomatoes.
This recipe really does kick the classic devilled egg recipe up a notch. Give it a try and you might just find the traditional method so boring!
California-Style Devilled Eggs
Ingredients
- 12 hard-cooked eggs (peeled)
- 1/4 cup low fat mayonnaise or Miracle Whip (60 mL)
- 2 tsp Dijon mustard (10 mL)

- 4 tsp chopped fresh basil (20 mL)
- 1 tsp balsamic vinegar (5 mL)
- 1/4 tsp salt (1.25 mL)

- Chopped sun-dried tomatoes (for garnish)
- Small fresh basil leaves (for garnish)
Instructions

Holiday entertaining wouldn’t be the same, if Devilled-Eggs were missing. A great appetizer and healthy too.
This looks delicious, I love the sun dried tom addition!

My favorite Holiday Baking with eggs, according to all the grandchildren, is my Snowmen. I start with a rich yeast dough containing eggs, yeast, flour, scalded milk, salt , shortening, sugar, orange zest, and orange juice. I cut them out with a gingerbread man cutout. When risen and baked, I let them cool and ice them with a rich homemade icing and decorate with cut up gumdrops. I’ve been baking them for forty years and they still add for them.
Meringues I make loads over the holidays & top with fruit & cream for a low fat good looking dessert anytime.

I also love making meringue cookies for Christmas which is mostly just egg whites and then I add the yolks into cream soups.
Frittata
I have to say that my favourite sweet recipe using eggs that I love to make at Christmas, is an old family one. It is a take on Nanaimo Bars, called Chocolate Dreams. The base is a graham crust, made with a beaten egg, sugar and spices. The middle layer is also made with eggs, as well as icing sugar and milk. The top layer is unsweetened chocolate. For a savoury dish with eggs, we always have lasagna and ceasar salad for Christmas Eve dinner. I use eggs in both of those dishes…………..Happy Holidays!!!!!
