Eggs are relatively an inexpensive meat-free source of protein. They can help avoid diseases, improve eyesight and help lose weight. Mostly they are enjoyed at breakfast or as an ingredient for baking. They also make a quite tasty and popular appetizer known as deviled eggs.
Deviled eggs are eggs that are hard boiled and their yolks are removed. These yolks are mixed with different ingredients and are then used to stuff the eggs.
In 1800s super seasoned foods were called “deviled”. From there came the naughty food names like devil’s food cake and deviled eggs.
