Southern-Style Deviled Eggs Recipe - Tasting Table

"If there's one appetizer that's guaranteed to be a crowd-pleaser, it's deviled eggs. Recipe developer Michelle Bottalico has created a recipe for Southern-style deviled eggs, which ups the ante by incorporating pimento peppers and pickle relish into the mix. That latter ingredient is something of a staple in Southern-style deviled eggs, although folks are divided over whether sweet or dill pickle relish is best, with some family recipes going one way or the other."

"Either way, the tangy, crunchy spread enlivens the deviled egg filling and makes it unique. The red garnishes - paprika and a piece of pimento - stand out against the classic yellow filling, making this dish a bright and colorful addition to your table as well as a tasty one. These deviled eggs are the perfect finger food for parties, holidays, and picnics at any time of year."

Southern-style deviled eggs feature a filling of mashed yolks blended with mayonnaise, yellow mustard, and sweet or dill pickle relish, accented with chopped pimento for flavor and color. Eggs are hard-boiled by covering with cold water, bringing to a boil, removing from heat, covering, and resting ten minutes before cooling in an ice bath. Yolks are combined with 2 tablespoons mayonnaise, 1½ teaspoons yellow mustard, 2 tablespoons relish, salt, and pepper, then spooned or piped back into the halved whites. Garnishes include sliced pimento pieces and paprika. These eggs work well for parties, holidays, and picnics year-round.
