Well-crafted deviled eggs never disappoint as an appetizer. Along with Dijon and vinegar, curry powder is incorporated into the filling of these devilish eggs for some unexpected flavor. Using lactose-free yogurt for a creamy filling is a digestive-friendly alternative to mayonnaise.
The ultimate hack
For perfect hard-boiled eggs every time, the trick is to steam the orbs. The yolks will remain creamy and brightly colored, while the shells will effortlessly slide off the just-set whites. No more clingy shells—which is not what you want for picture-perfect devilled eggs.
