devilled eggs
Yolky stuffed appetizer
Devilled eggs are hard-boiled eggs halved lengthwise, their yolks removed, mashed with mayonnaise and seasonings, then piped back into the whites.
A staple of American potlucks and picnics.
The devil in the name refers to the spicy mustard or cayenne traditionally added—devilling meant adding heat.
