It could be two bites or one, if you are hungry enough.

Deviled Eggs.

Since Foodimentary proclaimed November 2nd to be National Deviled Egg Day.  I thought well why not post my favorite deviled egg recipe.

 Easy to make and EVERYONE has their favorite version of the same thing.

This beautifully presented version you see is also called "farm eggs with tapenade".

Basically, olives and mayonnaise as the binding agent. Plated with a little sea salt, greens and radish slices.

Delicious!

 I eat them slowly, letting the moment last for as long as possible.

 They a year 'round staple at 11 Bonita Drive.
 
Try them and let me know what you think.

Foodimentary Question of the day:

Why are deviled eggs well….deviled? (A little help, I don't think it's Southern)

Answer: The dash of paprika on top is supposed to be the "deviled" or spiced part
