A Tasty Use for Hardboiled Eggs
The Bartender embarrassing himself at a corporate Easter function long ago…
If the Easter Bunny does his job this weekend, chances are you’ll have a surplus of dyed hardboiled eggs in your refrigerator that are looking for a second purpose. I suggest deviled eggs. (We’ve re-posted this article from a year ago because I just can’t get enough of this picture!)
This is a simple, basic recipe. Just the way I like my deviled eggs.
When I make deviled eggs, I slice the eggs widthwise, which makes little egg cups. I think this makes for effective eating because you get some filling with each bite. And, if you slice a teensy bit off of the bottom of each egg half, they will sit upright on the plate. This all came about because I don’t own one of those cute little deviled egg plates with the perfect egg-shaped indentations, and I didn’t want the eggs sliding all over the plate.
I also use a pastry bag to pipe the filling into the eggs cups. Not because I’m trying to be fancy, because fancy really isn’t my style. But I found when I used a spoon, I was always trying to get the dollop of egg stuff into the little cup without making a mess or using my fingers. The pastry bag just seems simpler to me. And simple is my style.

Hey bartender, what did you do to hack her off this bad?
I would find the original of that “rabbit” photo and feed it to a real bunny!
hahahahahahahahaha
Love the idea of slicing the eggs across! I have always done them lengthwise and they often times split when filling so your idea is better. Sometimes I use sprouts
to surround the eggs, making little nests for them to keep from sliding around on the plate. I do not have one
of those cute little egg plates either, although I always look at them and think they are so cute, then buy alfalfa sprouts instead.
