Deviled Eggs and Plates

I love vintage deviled egg plates almost as much as I love deviled eggs. Here are a few that a friend, my sister and I thought we’d share with you. Some of the old vintage ones that you might find on eBay or at an antique store can range from beautiful to quirky but always very functional. Most of today’s new deviled egg plates are plastic and really designed for transport that’s why I like the old glass ones better.

Enjoy my deviled egg recipe as well. The key to great deviled eggs for this Southern girl is that I use Kraft Miracle Whip. I did prepare my traditional eggs last weekend and substituted sweet pickle relish for the Wickles Relish. They were delicious and had just a hint of wicked to the deviled. Garnish your deviled egg plate with items like olives, pickles, sliced roasted red peppers or cheese-filled celery, i.e. pimento cheese or a garlic or herb- flavored cream cheese.   

Deviled eggs with mixed olives

Ingredients

6 hard-boiled eggs

2 ½ tablespoons Kraft Miracle Whip

1 tablespoon sweet pickle relish

1/2 teaspoon dry mustard

1/8 teaspoon kosher salt

Pinch of black pepper

Paprika (optional)

Peel hard-boiled eggs and cut in half lengthwise and carefully scoop out the yolk. Place yolks in bowl and mash with folk. Stir in next five ingredients. Spoon into cooked egg white halves by using two small spoons (using one as a scoop and the other as more of a spatula to help fill egg halves). Lightly sprinkle with paprika if desired. The paprika doesn’t add much spiciness, it’s more for color.
