Deviled eggs might be one of my all time favorite foods.  I even dressed up as one for Halloween a few years ago!

My favorite memory of deviled eggs was Easter 2002.  I was living in Amarillo, TX.  It just so happened that one of my parent’s close friends lived there too.  So I celebrated Easter with Carl, Amelia, Rick, mom and dad that year.  Rick and I were in the kitchen with mom and Amelia, harassing and pestering.  You know as kids do (we were in our 20’s at the time).  So Amelia put us to work making the deviled eggs.  She learned quickly that was a mistake.  We accidentally (on purpose) broke the egg whites as we were stuffing them just so we could eat them.  The broken ones weren’t fit to present for dinner ya know.  We had so much fun that Easter!  Amelia later gave me a crystal deviled egg plate that I will cherish forever.

This deviled egg recipe is inspired by some of the best deviled eggs I’ve ever had.  We have a restaurant called 131 Main here in the suburbs of Charlotte.  They have created these deviled eggs that have a smooth and creamy filling but there is a crunchy texture in them too.  I think it’s a pickled relish that gives it the texture but I’m not 100% sure.  It’s delicious though! If you are ever at 131 Main, get the deviled eggs!
