I don’t know about you, but there are a handful of required food items at any given social gathering in my family. Vying for the most important are: queso and deviled eggs. Since tomorrow is a holiday and I haven’t shared any recipes in awhile, I thought now might be a good time–you know, in case you’re stymied for ideas of what to take to the obligatory July 4th BBQ you’re invited to attend.
In trying to pick which of the two VIP food items I wanted to talk about, I decided to go with deviled eggs because I was chatting with Christi the other day about side dishes for her July 4th BBQ and since then I’ve been pondering all the ways you can make them. If you google “deviled eggs,” Google will kindly return with “about 3,460,000 results” in 0.42 seconds (Google is a bit of a show-off) and if you search for “deviled eggs” on Pinterest, you could scroll down for 3 days and not run out of pins from which to choose!
I know that I’ve already shared my recipe for deviled eggs with you.
But as both Google and Pinterest show, there is more than one way to devil an egg. Probably the only thing harder than keeping your self control in check, is picking a recipe. I mean, do you want classic or something more creamy or something with a kick or something eye-catching and holiday-themed? The possibilities are endless!
Here are a few that caught my eye (note: few is a relative term, as you’re about to see):
Since tomorrow is the 4th of July, I feel like I should definitely start with these Fourth of July Deviled Eggs from Kathryn at Singing Through The Rain.
The recipe that sounds the best to me are the Bacon Jalapeño Deviled Eggs from Aubrey at Real Housemoms. Hellllllo bacon + jalapeño! In fact, they sounded so good to me, I actually pinned them twice!! 🙈
Another recipe that sounds tasty are the Chorizo Deviled Eggs from Kevin at Kevin Is Cooking. Like the bacon in the recipe above, the chorizo adds a nice bit of crunch.
Of course, if you want reeeeeeeeeally creamy eggs, add avocado–like Gina at Skinny Taste in her Guacamole Deviled Eggs.
If you really haaaate cilantro, I guess you can leave it out…. 😉
Looking for a good brunch deviled egg? McCormick has a recipe for Spicy Bloody Mary Deviled Eggs!
If you wanna be extra faaancy with your deviled eggs, how about these Uptown Caviar Deviled Eggs from Chef Kenny Giambalvo at the Bluehour Restaurant in Portland, OR? Shared by What’s Cooking America
If you’re looking for a completely different flavor profile, perhaps you might like these Deviled Eggs with Beets and Smoked Salmon from Katya at Little Broken?
If salmon/beets/dill aren’t you thing, how about Mexican street corn? Melanie at Melanie Makes combines the fun of Mexican street corn with the deliciousness of deviled eggs in her Mexican Street Corn Deviled Eggs.
And finally–while it’s still 4 months away–it’s never to soon to be planning your Halloween party food with the Deliciously Rotten Deviled Eggs from Stephanie at Parenting Chaos.
Any pique your interest? Honesty I could probably spend another 4 hours sharing deviled eggs recipes, but I’m starting to get hungry and for some strange reason, eggs sound good 😉
But before I leave, I want to hear from you. Which recipe sounds the best? Vote below! And if you can’t decide between two, I’ve left you the option to pick’em both! 😉
Happy deviling!
