deviled egg
Halved, stuffed ovum
A deviled egg is a hard-boiled egg cut in half lengthwise, the yolk removed and mixed with mayonnaise, mustard, and seasonings, then spooned or piped back into the white.
A staple of American potlucks and picnics.
The "deviled" refers to the spicy seasoning—typically paprika or cayenne—not any particular wickedness.
