Old Bay Deviled Eggs Recipe
; "Pinterest"){kind=small}
It's almost Labor day weekend, the last outdoor hurrah of summer! It's hard to believe it's September already, but I am really looking forward to the long weekend. Like many of you, we'll be celebrating with a big family cookout, and I'll be making deviled eggs, which are one of America's favorite cookout dishes.
I have become addicted to deviled eggs this summer. I've always loved them, but this summer I make and eat them all the time. Why the sudden infatuation? It's because I've discovered a new secret ingredient -- Old Bay Seasoning.
Having grown up on the Chesapeake Bay, I am no stranger to Old Bay seasoning, and I use it on just about all seafood. It's even an amazing topping for french fries or baked potatoes. I don't even need butter and sour cream on a baked potato if I've got plenty of Old Bay!
Then earlier this summer, when I was out of paprika, I tried putting some Old Bay on my deviled eggs. When I tasted it, it felt like the skies opened up and the angels sang! It was so awesome that it led to my aforementioned deviled egg addiction all summer long.
I have the easiest deviled eggs recipe. To start, just squish the yolks in a bowl with a fork until fine crumbs.
Then add a squirt of mustard and just enough mayo to make a nice consistency.
Mix it together, making sure there aren't any big lumps.
If you want to keep it easy and rustic, just spoon the filling into the halved egg whites. But if you want a fancier presentation without much extra effort, put the filling in a disposable plastic decorator bag with a giant star tip.
Then pipe fluffy mounds of pretty yolks.
Then the best part -- sprinkle them with a generous amount of Old Bay!
Oh my goodness, those look so good. Fortunately I'll get my fix this weekend when I make a couple dozen for the cookout!

I mixed in some sweet pickle relish with my deviled eggs. Will have to try the old bay seasoning. Have a great weekend!
Another thing to put into your Deviled eggs, a little bit of Horseradish, the ammount depends on your taste buds!
Dill pickle relish is also good in Deviled eggs.
