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!

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 love making potatoe salad with boliled eggs!

I love eggs! I am having a hard time choosing a favourite recipe. Recently I have been making Harry’s Hearty Egg Bake recipe from the Egg Farmers of Ontario website….you make it the night before and all you do in the morning is pop it in the oven!
