This is a guest post from my husband. All of his recipes begin with “Best Ever”, and they are, but I might be a little biased.
Growing up I always made deviled eggs. Even if we only had two hard boiled eggs lying around I’d peel them up, take out the yolks, add mayonnaise, mustard, and some spices. Next, I’d put the yolk mixture back in, sit down, and eat the four halves myself.
As I’ve gotten older, I still love to make them but I’ve determined that if I’m going through the effort (not that these really require much time) I’ll only make a minimum of 6 eggs – and this recipe calls for 1 dozen. (Here’s another of my childhood egg recipes – egg in the basket.)
These are so good, no matter how many are made, they’re usually gone by the next day.
If you can believe it, Sara never made deviled eggs when she was growing up. I made sure to teach our kids how to make deviled eggs. Both of our kids can cook and even though they may act like they can’t sometimes. With lots of practice cooking, they’re both good cooks.
Deviled eggs get made regularly because we like them and we’ve got a pretty steady supply of eggs from the backyard. (Yes, we love our backyard chickens.) It kills me when we have to buy eggs from the store because we should be getting more eggs. One of our chickens is getting old – and she’s about to be made into stew.
Paprika sprinkled on top is optional but it tastes so good. Be sure and add it just prior to serving. It doesn’t look so good the next day.

Erin –
Try out the recipe and let me know what you think. I believe they could be a bit spicier but I didn’t want to scare anyone off.
