The only devilish thing about a deviled egg is overcooking them; follow our 10-minute guide for perfectly hard-boiled eggs. This recipe is quick, fresh and simple to assemble, especially if you cook a few extra eggs and place them in the fridge in case your guests plunder your stash. Plan on 4 pieces per person for your next party, but don’t be surprised if your guests ask for more (in which case you hand them an apron and this recipe).
