Classic Southern Deviled Eggs

Creamy classic Southern Deviled Eggs are always a potluck and party favorite. Bring a plate full to your next potluck, and watch them disappear.

Deviled Eggs are the quintessential Southern potluck food. With these group meals where each person brings a dish to share ... literally meaning everyone goes with the "luck of the pot" and eats whatever foods show up ... you can rest assured in the South that at least one person {if not more} will arrive with a big plate full of classic Southern Deviled Eggs.

Certainly, no Southern church potluck meal is complete without them.
And most certainly, that big plate full of Southern Deviled Eggs will be empty well before the end of the meal.

I know my husband, for one, scans that food table ... searching for and seeking out plates of these creamy little egg jewels.

He could eat the entire plate.

Deviled Eggs are the quintessential Southern potluck food. Certainly, no Southern church potluck meal is complete without them.

But politeness keeps his self control in check. And he takes just one. Like everyone else, not wanting to be greedy, and leaving everybody else their fair share of this favorite.

And I'm sure he's not the only one who has to turn on the extra self-control when deviled eggs are involved.

But what makes us love classic deviled eggs so much?

Is it the creaminess of the golden yolk mixture? The wonderful teeny touch of crunch from the sweet pickle relish?

While we are good with fun flavor combinations, it still seems to be the straight-up classic ones we simply adore the best.

Memories we've attached to this yummy comfort food?

Or the way these classic eat-with-your-fingers little egg halves pop so easily into our mouths?

And while we are good with fun flavor combinations like Jalapeno-Lime Deviled Eggs or Bacon-Cheddar Deviled Eggs, it still seems to be the straight-up classic ones we simply adore the best.

Who knows the reason deviled eggs hold such a fond place in our hearts.

But rest assured ... bring a big egg plate full of Southern Deviled Eggs to your next potluck, and everyone will call themselves lucky to taste what you brought in your pot.

Thank you for stopping by . We'd love to have you back soon!
