I have a love/hate relationship with hard-boiled eggs. They are delicious as a quick protein hit when I’m on the go, and a convenient breakfast when I’m traveling and in a hotel room. However, I can’t tell you the last time that I made hard boiled eggs at home. Why? Because they never turn out right. I either overcook or undercook them, or when I peel the shell several chunks of egg white come off along with it. I’ve tried every tip and trick, and just can’t get it done.

I’m also obsessed with deviled eggs. I could literally eat an entire tray myself. Yes, I am that creepy person who hangs out near the deviled egg tray at the party, and I’m not even ashamed to admit that I stalk the tray so I can sneak the last one!

Deviled eggs are a traditional summer party food. They’re versatile and fun to eat, and practically the perfect finger food because you can grab one–or three– and go. The sky’s the limit when it comes to flavors, which makes them so popular with kids and adults alike. You’ll find them on the spread at picnics, potlucks, cookouts, and summer holiday entertaining. And that’s what makes them such summer tradition…some recipes may come and go in popularity, but you know that someone will always bring deviled eggs.

PRICE*S PIMIENTO CHEESE SPREAD

Pimiento cheese is a Southern staple. Weldon and Mildred Price began their tradition in the 1950’s, perfecting their recipe for Price*s Pimiento Cheese Spread. Price*s Cheese has grown over the decades, beginning with the original recipe, and now has 4 more flavors. Price’s Pimiento Cheese Spread is available in grocery stores nationwide, so you can choose your favorite. You’ll find Price*s Pimiento Cheese Spread in either the dairy or deli section of the grocery store. My local grocery store carries Original and Zesty Jalapeño flavors, and I purchased the original for this recipe.

As much as I love deviled eggs, I’ve never made them myself. So with this wonderful opportunity to partner with Price*s Cheese, I took on the challenge of my very first deviled egg recipe, with Pimiento Cheese Deviled Eggs

My goodness, these Pimiento Cheese Deviled Eggs are so delicious! The pimiento cheese spread is tangy, sweet and mild, a perfect combination for a delicious deviled egg. My dad, who is vegetarian and very rarely eats eggs, tried one and then immediately at 2 more!

KEYS TO THE PERFECT PIMIENTO CHEESE DEVILED EGGS

I use the original flavor of Price*s Pimiento Cheese Spread for my Pimiento Cheese Deviled Eggs.

I use store-bought hard-boiled eggs. No shame in my game! And when you do that, the Pimiento Cheese Deviled Eggs are ready in under 15 minutes.

Of course, the main base of the deviled egg filling is the yolks. Mayonnaise is the most common binder to use, but I decided to conduct a taste test with a few different options

• Mayonnaise – results in the most traditional deviled egg flavor. It has a creamy texture, but with the thick consistency of Price*s Pimiento Cheese Spread, it is a little thicker than normal
• Greek yogurt – I love the tang and bite that Greek yogurt adds. It has a similar consistency to mayonnaise, but the mixture isn’t quite as thick
• Avocado oil mayo – I love avocado oil mayo, but not for these Pimiento Cheese Deviled Eggs. The flavor of the mayo competes with the pimiento cheese spread, and the consistency is a little thin

I decided to go with a combination of Greek yogurt and mayonnaise. Salt, black pepper, and a little paprika, add more flavor. I use a piping bag and cake decorating tool to get the mixture into the egg white halves. I also learned a valuable lesson: don’t overfill the piping bag, or the contents will spill over the top!

My piping bag technique needs some serious work, but I’m getting there. My final touches include a sprinkle of paprika, and few diced pimiento peppers on each egg. I also add seeded and finely diced jalapeños on the Pimiento Cheese Deviled Eggs for a little more heat. You can also serve them on the side, so guests can add the jalapeños if they wish.
