Deviled Easter Eggs, an oxymoron?

Who decided to name these tempting treats "deviled" anyway? One of my favorite sayings is "God gave us food, the devil gave recipes!" Maybe they are deviled eggs because they are hard to resist?

At Easter, if you are like me, you will have lots of hard boiled eggs in your house...and I'm talking about the food not the relatives that may be there! 

An easy way to prepare the egg filling is to mix it all in a ziplock bag. Use your favorite recipe or do a search; there are so many variations to choose from on the web!

The amount of mayonnaise, vinegar, sugar, pickle relish and other spices you use in your recipe of course depends on how many eggs you have boiled or that have survived the peeling and yolk-scooping process. It's always wise to taste your filling as you go. I can imagine Julia Childs "ohh, that's good" exclamation in this tasting part of the process.  Just keep squishing the bag to mix the ingredients.

When the flavor and consistancy is just right, snip off the corner of the bag and pipe the filling into the eggs. It is so easy to do and then clean up is a snap!

Enjoy!
