Leftover Deviled Eggs Recipe

Guess what I made? That’s right a deviled eggs recipe… Well, I’m guessing that approximately 94.7% of you faithful readers have leftover Easter ham and hard-boiled eggs in your fridge. Am I right or am I right?

Since I HATE wasting food and am sick of ham sandwiches I decided to give the deviled egg a whirl. I don’t dislike deviled eggs per se but they’re totally not my favorite. But clearly, I was eating the wrong kind because these are totally life changing!!–>true fact.

Yes, these are the be all end all of the now beloved deviled egg. If you’re a classic deviled egg hater, give these a try. They might change your mind. That ham and cheese worked their magic and now I’m a believer! Can a sister get an amen?

Thank you.

How to Make Deviled Eggs

Start by peeling and slicing all your hard-boiled eggs. Hello, sunshine!

Now chop up some onion and celery and place into a bowl. I chopped some carrot on the same cutting board as these veggies so don’t mind the 3 orange specks. Thank you for listening.

Now you can pop out those golden centers. Set these little babies onto a parchment lined baking sheet.

As you probably could have guessed, those yolks ended up in this bowl along with some chopped dill pickles. Side note: according to Lauren, sweet pickles are unnatural, ungodly and straight up gross. Use dill. For the love of everything good and holy–use dill pickles.

Ok, now onto that HAM. Wham bam thank you, HAM! I’m so funny.

Ok, so into this bowl….{yup you guessed it} goes the ham, some sour cream, mayo, salt, and pepper.

Stir this whole thing up until it looks nice and creamy….egg + ham = happy marriage. Who knew.

The filling is pretty chunky so I just filled my egg holes using a spoon. I’m a simple gal. Sometimes.

Now sprinkle some dill over top each egg because you’re blonde and forgot to mix it into the filling. Oops… I mean I meant to do that.

Grate a little cheddar cheese somewhat finely…

And top each egg with it! Don’t these look super cool?  But wait… THERE’S MORE! Your mind is going to be blown because we’re going to stick these little guys under the broiler! There. I said it. You’re welcome America.

Hello, melty cheese.

These made a lovely afternoon snack. After a little convincing, my daughter finally took a bite and LOVED them! {“Go on and try it! You’ll like it!” All you Mom’s know this quote I bet!!}

Excuse me while I eat the last 7.

Again, you’re welcome.
