07 Nov Devilish Deviled Eggs

I am not one for really “hands on” meals. I will occasionally do lasagna or stuffed shells. Every once in a while I will do chicken pot pie… And, then I remember why I don’t do them often. They are intricate and hands on.

I am much more a of a roast some meat and veggies kind of gal.

However, holiday’s deserve a little fun and for Halloween it doesn’t get much cuter than these deviled eggs done two ways.

Deviled eggs are delicious. But, they are a bit of work with the whole taking off the shell and piping. Work that is worth it. Especially if it is not something you do all the time. To bring in some Halloween cheer, a couple quick tricks gets you a fun pumpkin and skull.

To do the pumpkin, I just add a touch of fresh chive to serve as a “steam.” Paprika, common on deviled eggs, really brings it to life too.

The skull is a little more intricate, but still easy. I just used a straw to puncture out two eyes, a nose and a smile made of four straw punctures in a semi-circle. The yolk mixture goes into the egg like normal after the holes are made and then the back of the skull is coated in crushed chips to prevent sticking to a serving platter. (A bonus? Chips on a deviled egg is crazy good.)

So, if you are feeling a little devil-ish this Halloween, give these a try!
