National Deviled Egg Day Observance

History of National Deviled Egg Day

The creator or founder of Deviled Eggs Day is still unknown. Deviled eggs have ancient roots and trace back to Rome, with references to recipes found in Ancient Rome. However, the term “deviled” didn’t appear until the 18th century, when it was used to describe highly seasoned, boiled, or fried eggs. By the 19th century, “deviled” became a common term for foods with spicy seasonings. While not all deviled egg recipes are spicy, a dash of cayenne pepper or hot mustard can add an extra kick. In the Netherlands, France, and Germany, deviled eggs are often served with variations that include parsley and fresh tomato. Deviled eggs are also known as Eggs Mimosa, Stuffed Eggs, or Dressed Eggs. They are hard-boiled eggs that are peeled, halved, and filled with a mixture of their yolks blended with ingredients like mayonnaise and mustard.
