I think eggs could quite possibly be the perfect food. (Next to a banana, which comes with its own proper carrying case.) Have I said this before? Probably. But it’s true.
You can hard boil it, soft boil it, fry it, scramble it, quiche it, meringue it, custard it. You can use it as a binder, coating, thickener, emulsifier, clarifier, and leavening agent. You can even use the shells as a pest repellent or the whites as a glue!
…aaaaaand…deep breath…one of my favorite ways -
Deviled eggs. (Suppose the title was the tell on that one, eh?)
Talk about versatility. I need to have more large gatherings so I can try all the different ways to fill these babies. But instead, I wait for events like the Superbowl, and slowly over time, strive to make the recipes one at a time…suffering in silence.
This one was sent to me from my friend Julie. She knows a good deviled egg.
Apricot Curry Deviled Eggs
Makes 24 halves
Prep time: 10 minutes (assuming you already have your eggs boiled and peeled)
Ingredients
• 12 large hard boiled eggs, peeled
• 1/2 cup light mayo
• 3 tablespoons apricot preserves
• 1 teaspoon curry powder
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• pinch of cayenne pepper
Directions
(I’m choosing not to include directions on the actual process of cooking and peeling the eggs, since everyone seems to have their own preference. But here’s a link, if you’d like some tips.)
Cut eggs in half lengthwise and gently squeeze yolks into a medium sized bowl, reserving the white halves. With a fork, mash the yolks with the mayo, preserves, curry, salt and cayenne until smooth.
Using a Ziploc bag (with a corner cut), pipe the mixture into the white halves. Serve right away or refrigerate until chilled.

I love the idea of adding apricot preserves to deviled eggs! Will definitely be trying these :) Thanks for the recipe!
I always forget how much I adore eggs…until I find myself eating runny yolk…and licking it off my plate.
Unabashedly.
I’m pretty sure I’d lick the innards out of these eggs also. Apricot plus curry? PLEASE. I have no shame.
What a great flavor combination!! I never would have thought to add anything to my deviled eggs…Mine are my grandma’s recipe…Thanks for sharing Amy!!!!
Oh Sandi…I add all kinds of things to my Deviled eggs. It’s like a favorite past time :D
You can also run with an egg on a spoon. You can also throw them at people. I know, because I have.
These sound so interesting!
What a delightful flavor combination for deviled eggs. They look and sound super delicious.
I know all about having to wait for that large gathering to try a recipe you’ve been craving–that’s exactly how I feel about stuffed mushrooms. Pot stickers. Fried onion rings. Etc, etc.
OH….oh yes….
