The holidays are all about cooking, eating, drinking and laughter with your family and friends. This year I am bringing out all the stress-free, delicious, and fancy appetizers that will make your guests say wow! Stuffed (deviled) eggs are an easy and delicious starter or appetizer for any holiday gathering. It will make your celebration cheerful with just a few ingredients. Growing up, mom used to make these stuffed eggs and they were such a simple yet delectable treat! A true Guyanese stuffed egg recipe is quite easy, and the key ingredients are BUTTER and a pinch of pepper for a kick! If you love eggs, then you will surely relish this stuffed egg recipe. It is creamy, flavorful, and oh-so addictive! They never last when served in my household. I love everything about this recipe from the wonderful Christmas garnishments that look beautiful on any platter to its savory taste.
If you follow me on Instagram, you would have seen these beauties for Thanksgiving. I had my brother over for dinner, who loves food as much as I do and according to him, “these stuffed eggs are proppa”, which is a slang used in Guyana meaning they are amazing. He ate so many that I lost count. Also, it is not very spicy so the kids can enjoy it as well.
Helpful Tips for Stuffed (Devil) Eggs
- Do not over boil the eggs. Overcooked eggs have a green coating on their yolk and trust me that will not be appealing to your guest.
- Use any white sharp cheddar cheese. I had some left over, so I decided to utilize that.
- There are endless ways to decorate your stuffed (devil) eggs, so be as creative as you would like.
- The butter must be at room temperature. This makes it easier to incorporate ingredients.
- For the mustard, it is all on preference; add ¼ tsp then mix, taste, and adjust. I tend to use ¼ tsp because I do not like too much of a ‘mustardy’ taste to my stuffed eggs.
- Use a decorative kit to make it a fun experience.
