Of course there are as many ways to jazz up deviled eggs as there are people making them.  I like to add a bit of chopped green olive, a dash of Tabasco or some garlic powder sometimes.  What is your favorite thing to add in to deviled eggs?

My aunt decorates the tops of her deviled eggs with flowers made from sliced green olives as the flower center and the petals are the red center of the olive sliced. The stem and leaves are celery. They are too cute !!!

Sometimes I will mix in a can of chicken breast meat. ALWAYS a hit.

I like to add in a little Old Bay to the mix, and sprinkle with Old Bay instead of Paprika. I had them this way and they were awesome, I have made them that way ever since.

I add Kraft Sandwich Spread to the mashed yolks, then salt & pepper. That’s all. It’s quick, different, and really good.
