Did You Know?
"Deviled" eggs are a classic appetizer made with hard-boiled eggs, mayo, and mustard! The term "deviled" in cooking refers to spicy or zesty preparations, dating back to the 18th century. The dish became popular in America in the 1940s-50s as a party food. Chickens lay approximately one egg every 24-26 hours during their peak laying years. A single hen can produce over 250 eggs annually. The world's largest deviled egg weighed over 6 pounds!
