Recipe: Deviled Eggs

Deviled eggs are a classic appetizer at potlucks, parties and Easter. They are so easy to make that you can riff on them endlessly to create different flavor profiles. 

Start out with farm-fresh eggs from Lenexa Farmers Market vendors. They will taste better and provide more nutritional benefits than commercial eggs.

Ingredients

1 dozen eggs

1 tablespoon baking soda (helps remove shells when peeling)

6 tablespoons mayonnaise

2 teaspoons powdered sugar

Salt to taste

Radishes, carrots or green onions for garnish
