National Deviled Egg Day

Did you know that another name for deviled eggs is eggs mimosa? This delectable dish is a favorite tradition in both American and French cultures. Deviled eggs are composed of eggs, mayonnaise, and mustard and can be served as a side dish, appetizer, or a main course.

While deviled eggs originated in ancient Rome, the term "deviled" didn't appear until the 18th century when it was used to describe highly seasoned, fried, or boiled dishes. By the 19th century, the word deviled was used to describe hot seasonings in general. Today, deviled eggs are not always particularly spicy, but they can be with the addition of cayenne pepper or hot mustard.

Deviled eggs are a common holiday or party food, so what better reason to throw a party than National Deviled Egg Day!
