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!
