Southern, Soul Food Deviled Eggs
In the south, it seems everybody has their own way of making southern deviled eggs. Some swear by mustard and others say it’s a big no-no. Some say definitely use dill pickled relish while others say sweet relish is the only way to go…and I won’t even get started on what kind of mayonnaise should be used because I would surely cause a heated debate in my family…all Imma say is… DUKES BABY!!! lol
I love deviled eggs so much and I honestly don’t believe a bad basic deviled egg recipe exists! It’s all about tweaking the ingredients and proportions. Here is an easy, flavorful basic deviled egg recipe that my family enjoys. It can be easily customized and adjusted to suit your taste.
Try adding in some bacon, celery, ranch, or even some pimento cheese, believe it or not, taste delish in deviled eggs! Honey the possibilities are endless!

Just made deviled eggs for the very first time using your recipe and they turned out great..not to sweet and defiantly not too salty..Thanks!!
Just made some deviled egg cake pops!! I used this recipe for the cake portion. I crumbled all of the ingredients with the egg, mixed in a can of icing, and proceeded to dip the balls into white chocolate, then sprinkled with bacon! They were a hit at my family reunion. I am planning on making these again very soon.
