Happy National Deviled Egg Day!

Deriving from stuffed eggs, deviled eggs take their fiendish name due to the addition of fiery spices like cayenne or hot sauce. Stuffed eggs may have first appeared in 13th century Andalusia, where boiled eggs were served packed with spicy contents, but the "deviled" moniker didn't surface until the 18th century. Today, deviled eggs refer to any egg hard-cooked egg, sliced in half lengthwise, with its yolk removed, blended with other ingredients, seasonings and mayonnaise or sour cream, then spooned back into its pocket, and often sprinkled with paprika.
