Devilled eggs

Not yet rated

Devilled eggs have gained a bit of a bad reputation for being stuck in the '70s, but we think this retro snack is one of the best! Adding 'devilishly' hot mustard to the yolks and flavouring with smoky paprika elevates the humble boiled egg to something very delightful indeed.
