Have you ever noticed that deviled eggs are virtually never on a restaurant menu? That explains why they’re usually the first thing to go when they’re served at home! I love to make them using Becky’s Deviled Eggs recipe. You can throw the filling into a piping tube and squirt it out in a fancy manner, but I prefer to cut a corner of my baggie and apply the filling mixture that way, then add a little garnish at the top.

- Sprig of fennel. You could use dill for the same visual effect.
- Chopped, cooked bacon. That’s a natural combo!
- Sliced black olives. (Ick, personally. Plus, it would have been better to have thinner slices.)
- Sprig of Italian parsley.
- A few shards of sugar-free pickle relish. (Personally, I like to also put a little pickle relish in with the filling, but not everyone likes them that way.)
- Piece of rosemary. Very majestic looking. Great for Christmastime.
- Crossed chive “swords.”
- Paprika — the most commonly used garnish for deviled eggs. Personally, I can’t tell that it does anything for the taste, but it’s nice contrast.
- Pimiento peppers, or just use chopped fresh red pepper, as I have here.
- Thin slices of avocado. These would have looked better if the avocados that day had had greener outer rims.
- Chopped chives. Or chopped scallions.
- Create your own! Try a delicate edible flower (chive blossoms are great when they are in season, as are nasturtiums). Use some finely shredded carrot or beet. Throw a few capers in or on the egg. Use some finely minced shallots.
