SAVORY DEVILED EGGS



Savory Deviled Eggs image

I've never been a fan of the traditional "sweet relish" Deviled Eggs, so I created this recipe over the years. They have a nice savory flavor that's always a big hit. I bring them to all kinds of gatherings - potlucks, work parties, block parties and the like. I generally garnish them with whatever's on hand - capers, olives, pimentos, chives. Once I brought them to a Halloween party and dressed them up using capers for eyes, pimento for a mouth, and chives for horns - they truly were Deviled Eggs! One tip: placing the eggs on a cloth napkin covered platter keeps the slippery buggers from sliding all over the place and it adds a nice, festive touch.
