The Ultimate Southern Deviled Eggs

Dec 4, 2020 · Modified: Dec 4, 2021 by JCP

Hey, y’all – Happy Day 3 of Blogmas! Blogmas is a series that I am bringing to the blog this year (and hopefully in subsequent years) that will provide y’all with a new recipe every day of December through Christmas. How fun is that? Today I’m excited to be sharing my granny's recipe for the ultimate southern deviled eggs. Jude is known for these -- and, needless to say, they are finger lickin' good.

Ingredients
  

  • 12 eggs large

  • Paprika
  • 4-6 dashes hot sauce optional

Instructions
 

  • Bring eggs in a large pot to a rolling boil; turn off heat, cover, and allow eggs to cook for 20 minutes.

  • Fill egg whites with the mixture and top with paprika.

Notes

*JC's note: I use my great-aunt JJ's sweet pepper relish in this recipe -- which is the very best. I'll work on posting that recipe for y'all in the future!
