Classic Devilled Eggs Recipe With a Holiday Twist

Raise you hand if you adore a good devilled eggs recipe like I do! If you invite me to your Christmas pot luck, I can predict you’ll find me at the food table, smack next to the devilled eggs. One can never have too many and there are so many excellent recipes out there….but I have to admit to having a weakness for the Classic Devilled Eggs Recipes.

This year I want my eggs to stand out a bit so I’ve gotten bold with them and coloured them red and green!

Aren’t they the cutest, most Grinch-like eggs you’ve ever seen? It’s super simple to make and they definitely make an impact! If you’d like more Devilled Egg Recipes, check out a few I’m listing at the bottom from my partners This Lil Piglet and The Bewitchin Kitchen in this Holiday Entertaining Guide at the end of this post.
