This vibrant twist on the classic devilled eggs is a must try. Overnight marination infuses the eggs with a lively pink hue - they are then piped with a garlic and cayenne filling made using the yolks. Topped with black pepper, chives and a touch of lemon zest, these devilled eggs are irresistible.
