Flavorful, creamy and delectable Deviled Eggs that are Angelic
Deviled eggs which are just heavenly, I prefer to call them angel eggs. Every Easter I watch these little angels disappear into thin air. Funny to think that I did not like deviled eggs at one point in my life, I was just eating the wrong ones. Simple is better in my opinion. Other deviled eggs versions that I’ve tried had too many flavors in one bite, taking away from the natural beauty and taste of a boiled egg. The eggs should be slightly flavored and creamy, not overloaded and chunky.
I always make my angel eggs the night before serving, allowing all the flavor to blend well together enhancing the taste. This being a make ahead dish means it is one less thing to do the day of your celebration. Small suggestion, to make two or three extra eggs in case any crack or don’t peel smoothly. If all goes well you will have extra for a late night snack. WARNING irresistible eggs!!!
