 Creative Ways for Deviled Eggs!


Today I'd like to share a few very creative ways to display your deviled eggs for Easter!


Deviled eggs are so popular for Easter gatherings - but usually their displayed on a plate: egg whites filled with yellow yoke. They are yummy - but the presentation BORING.


Not so with these neat ideas I've found and sharing!


As for recipes for deviled eggs there were SO MANY - and many 5 stars! So I'll let you pick and choose on your own! Me - I love sprinkling BACON and chives on them - SO YUMMY!


But you can hunt and decide which recipe you'd like to try - right now let's look at how to make your deviled eggs the WOW factor on the table!


Simple - but clever! Just slice off the tops of the eggs to remove the yolk. Slice off a bottom portion of the egg to help them stand on their own - and fill with yummy devilish egg mixture! Garnished with dill for a more elegant presentation.




Isn't this adorable?! Use the same "standing" egg white technique above - but top off with a halved cherry tomato! Then dot with mayo, sour cream. or cream cheese.



What a cute chick! Use the "standing" white egg technique once again - keep the top though. Fill the egg whites with the yummy yolky mixture - and use a straw end to cut out eyes and cut a carrot slice into triangle pieces for the beaks!




Colorful Deviled Eggs! How festive! Easy to do - just use food coloring and soak the halved egg whites for whatever contrast you'd like (light, pastel, dark). Dry them completely, fill and garnish!





Beet soaked eggs. This is very popular.
 The deviled egg can be traced back to Rome, Italy.

Soak shelled hard boiled eggs entirely in beet juice. Soak them for a few hours or a few days!
Remove - halve - fill - EAT!



Spring Basket Egg - SO FRIGGIN' CUTE!
Use the same "standing" white egg technique - fill with yummy yolk mixture - cut thin strips of celery for basket handle - dried parsley was used on the basket brim in photo. 
Paprika, bacon bits, crumbled feta or blue cheese, dill, chives, and chopped up sun-dried tomatoes can also be used around the brim!



Deviled Bunnies!
Halved eggs, upside down, use straw cut olive technique above for eyes (you'll have to core out a hole for the eyes in the egg white with the straw as well), use chive strands for whiskers and sliced radishes for ears after slicing a slit on top for them to slide into. I might try cucumbers instead!



Carrot Eggs!
Traditional display of deviled eggs BUT add triangled cut pieces of salmon or red or orange peppers - then add dill, another fresh herb, or the actual carrot top to be the topper of the carrot design!



Bunny Feet Eggs!
Easy! Add pink or red dye to your yolk mixture - and with a pastry piping bag fill in yolk hole and add 3 whisps for toes!



BABY GROGU EGGS!
How adorb is this?
These eggs were filled with avocado mixture - not my choice, but different strokes!
However, I plan to use dyed green yoke mixture!
Cut a 1/4 slice of egg out, empty egg of it's yolk, create your yummy egg mixture - then cut a small sliced portion on bottom for standing purposes. Pipe in the mixture - one for body, then the head. Add eyes cut out by olive pieces cut out by straw end, and triangle pieces of celery of green peppers for ears!

Funny how we are creating Grogu out of eggs - the same food he cannot resist!


I'm sure if you use any of these ideas at your Easter gathering - it will be the hit out of all the appetizers!
