Angel Eggs (aka Deviled Eggs) are sliced, hard boiled egg whites packed with a savory filling. This delicious side dish has a surprise ingredient that adds flavor and a delightful crunch.

The inspiration for the name came from my precious aunt (75 years young) who told me “Angel sounds better than deviled.” 🙂

EDITOR’S NOTE (September 22, 2021): My Smooth Hard Boiled Eggs are perfect for making this recipe.

Angel Eggs — SERVING SUGGESTION: Place each Angel Egg in a cupcake liner and arrange neatly in a casserole dish. See photo of covered dish at end of page.

DISCLOSURE (SPONSORED): A big thank you to Mt. Olive for providing the sweet salad cubes (the surprise ingredient) used in this recipe.

Since this is my favorite brand, I contacted the company and respectfully requested complimentary jars of pickles. The shipment arrived a few days later. How cool is that?! 🙂

Angel Eggs Casserole Dish — SERVING SUGGESTION: Place a small leaf of Italian parsley or cilantro on top of each Angel Egg before serving. This simple idea makes a pretty presentation.

FACTS ABOUT HARD BOILED EGGS

1. Salt helps hard-boiled eggs peel easier. The eggs do not absorb salt while boiling in salted water.

2. Read Southern Living‘s article about peeling eggs.

3. Read Cooking Light‘s article about boiling eggs.

Easy to make with a few simple ingredients that you may already have in the pantry.

Make ahead and store prepared eggs in a tightly sealed container. Refrigerate up to two days before serving.

Pairs well with a Pan Seared T-Bone Steak, Smoky Collard Greens and Southern Fried Cabbage

SLICING TIP

I like to slice hard boiled eggs with a serrated knife because it cuts without tearing. More effective than a smooth edge in my opinion.

Enjoy!
