Whenever spring rolls around I get really excited because I know its time for my favorite appetizer, snacking food ever: deviled eggs. I can eat way too many deviled eggs and I have. You definitely shouldnt do this because then you wont have room for other Easter fare like hot cross buns and honey-baked ham. My parents never gave us gifts on Easter. Instead it was a day about a day with family and spending time with one another.
The best gift I think is food and good company. These herb deviled eggs are so simple and refreshing. The best tip that I learned from my friend Billy is to push the egg yolks through a sieve. It breaks the the egg yolks into teeny tiny bits, resulting in the fluffiest and creamiest filling ever. I highly recommend it!
