I apologize for the off-topic post but I need to make deviled eggs tomorrow for a office
luncheon & don't know what goes in w/the yolk to make them good. TIA for your
help...Happy Holidays!
If you have any variations on the generic recipe...please let me know!

Vinegar. Can't remember how much--maybe 2 teaspoons? (for a dozen eggs) Mayo. Salt. A
little pepper.

Hey Jill...You are talking about something that doesn't have a real recipe. You just add
what ever you want to, make them taste good and be nice and creamy. My favorite is to make
them like egg salad with olives but I also make them with the mayo and mustard. I like
them with any of the following....onion...garlic...celery..olives..pickle relish...Just
start mixing and tasting....

Jill honey, you sound like me. However, I can make good deviled eggs. I mash the yolks
with a fork, add some pickles (chopped in small pieces) and stir in enough Miracle Whip to
make them the right consistency to spoon into the whites. Add some salt to taste. I also
add about a tablespoon of the liquid from the pickles. If you can get some homemade
pickles, they are the best. Ummmmmm Good! Good luck.

I just mix the egg yolks with Best Foods Sandwhich Spread. Everythings already in it and
it's delicious and easy.

I can't really add much to the previous posts except to say that I think the only really
key ingredient to devilled eggs, as far as I'm concerned at least, is the paprika. Its
just not deviled eggs without it. The other thing is that if its for a party, a really
nice and not too hard thing to do is to get a pastry tube with a large star tip and pipe
in the yolk mixture instead of just spooning it in. Looks so pretty. Good luck. I'm pretty
sure that they'll fly right off the plate at your party. We used to go to this monthly
potluck at our church and the first thing to go was always the plate of devilled eggs.
Sometimes you had to sneak into the kitchen early to get one.
