Flavored Cream Cheese Is The Easiest Way To Jazz Up Deviled Eggs
by MARIA SCINTO
Deviled eggs are simple and cheap to make. The standard recipe calls for mayonnaise, but cream cheese can bring both texture and taste to deviled egg filling.
Cream cheese is thicker, richer, and less watery than mayonnaise and has a natural tang. The flavored options, like chive, are an excellent choice for egg deviling purposes.
The fruit flavors could work if offset with balsamic vinegar, chopped basil, and a fresh berry garnish. Savory cream cheeses, however, need no tweaking.
Enhance smoked salmon cream cheese eggs with sliced red onion or pair jalapeño cream cheese with crumbled bacon and shredded cheddar to make for popper-inspired eggs.
