Here are some commonly asked questions
Did you ever wonder how Deviled Eggs get their name?
Deviled eggs are a classic dish that has been around for centuries. The name “deviled” comes from the Latin word for “to stuff.” Deviled eggs are simply eggs that have been hard-boiled and then stuffed with a mixture of egg yolks, mayonnaise, mustard, and other seasonings.
While the exact origin of deviled eggs is unknown, they are thought to have originated in ancient Rome. In the 4th century A.D., Roman cookbook author Apicius included a recipe for ova exinanita, which was basically a stuffed egg dish. This recipe was later adapted by medieval European cooks who added spices such as cayenne pepper to give the dish a little bit of a kick.
Deviled eggs first became popular in the United States during the 19th century. At that time, they were often served as hors d’oeuvres at fancy dinner parties. Today, deviled eggs are still popular as an appetizer or side dish and can be found on the menus of many restaurants.

How to tell if eggs are fresh
We have a habit of stocking up on eggs and then forgetting about them because they are out in the garage fridge.
While eggs will keep (if refrigerated properly) for up to 6 weeks beyond the date on the package – I always like to do this nifty little test if I know they have been in there for a while. The date isn’t always accurate.
When eggs go bad – they create an air bubble inside the shell. So if you place an egg in a few inches of water – watch what it does.
- If it stays at the bottom – it is good.
- If it sort of hovers halfway between the bottom and the top of the water – it’s on the way to going bad and should be used immediately.
- NOW – if the egg floats – that means the air bubble has formed and the egg is no longer safe to eat and should be tossed out.
How to Make Bacon Deviled Eggs
Eggs
- Bring a pot of water to a boil, add the eggs and cook for 12 minutes.
- Once they are cooked, remove them from the water, and move them to an ice bath. Let them rest for at least 5 minutes. This stops the cooking process.
- Once they are completely cooled, remove the eggs from the ice bath and peel them from the shell.
- Cut the eggs in half lengthwise and remove the cooked yolk. Place the yolks in a medium bowl.
- Mash the egg yolks with a fork.
- Keep the egg whites on the side.
Bacon
- Cut the bacon in small pieces and then cook it in a skillet for about 3-4 minutes on medium heat. Or until it has reached your desired crispiness.
Filling
- Add mayonnaise, relish, mustard, salt, and pepper to the bowl with the cooked/mashed yolks and mix until well combined.
- When the egg yolk mixture is smooth, put it in a piping bag and pipe that filling into the hollow of the eggs.
- Top each egg with bacon bits and chives before serving.

Tip for Transporting Stuffed Eggs
