DEVILED EGG RECIPE
One of our favorite appetizer recipes to bring and share at a family gathering is this deviled egg recipe! They are always a hit and so simple to make. They don’t last very long so you have to be quick at our house if you want one. WHY ARE THEY CALLED DEVILED EGGS? The first documented usage for the word “devil” as a culinary term dates back to 1786 when, according to the Oxford English Dictionary. It was used to describe a “(highly seasoned) fried or boiled dish.” By 1800, the term “deviling” caught on and was primarily used to refer to the process of making a spicy or condiment-laden dish. Not everyone calls them deviled eggs. In many regions of the U.S., these are commonly known as stuffed eggs, dressed eggs, salad eggs or even mimosa eggs.INSTANT POT HARD BOILED EGGS
