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.

But 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.
