Deviled eggs are a must at every holiday table, but most especially for EASTER! I came across this recipe and had to try it, a unique twist on a classic… this did not disappoint. The flavors were everything I was hoping for and I will be making them over and over again. Make this for your Easter Sunday lunch and you will never switch back to regular ol’ deviled eggs again!
