Humble and nutritious, but capable of creating an entire meal on its own, eggs are its cause. There are a million and one ways to prepare them. Scrambled, over-easy, boiled, omelet, a sunny one — you name it. A person who doesn’t get the love it deserves? Eggs are destroyed. Growing up in New England, unfortunately, worm eggs aren’t usually part of most appetizers. To me, the mysterious appeal of the dish is on par with escargot. (Though considering how close I grew up near the Canadian border, the ravaged eggs look sexier.) I remember the first time I hesitantly put one in my mouth, and people, the impact was amazing. Since then, I’ve always believed that the grass would be greener in the southern kitchen, with savory and sweet dishes regularly rotating. The good news is that devil eggs are now common in the north (and obviously everywhere). Not only do they create an app to your taste, but they are also adaptable for the long term. To prove it, I’ve rounded up all of my favorite devotional egg recipes.

I am in awe of how seamless gobbled eggs can fit into almost any gathering. The basic recipe is as easy as it gets.

While the pairing steps are simple, choosing the perfect flavor blend can be a challenge. There are tons of recipes for ruined eggs — and it seems like everyone has their favorite. Some like spicy, some mildly sweet, while others like to lighten things up with a few strategic swaps. However you prefer yours, there is a recipe provided.
