Notes / Tips / Wine Advice:
WHY CUT THE EGGS LENGTHWISE?
Not only can you turn the devilled egg ingredient list on its head, but you can also try cutting the egg at its width instead of lengthwise. The white part of the egg is more distributed with the yolk filling instead of having one great bite and then one bite with mostly egg whites. Cutting the egg in this different fashion yields a more balanced bite each time.
