Author Notes
A kicked up version of the classic hors d’oeuvre.
When was the last time you had a deviled egg?
Maybe, like me, it never crosses your mind to make them. I’ve had some that I really enjoyed, but too often they’ve been an unwelcome guest at some outdoor summer gathering. I see them in my minds eye, looking sun scorched and forlorn among much more appetizing dishes. But THESE are different. Promise! —Pinch&Swirl
