I watched you make this and I make it every year. MY mamas southern recipe. I LOVE your addons and Im making it for new years.Great with Ham.Thank you!!!
Great! Great ! GREAT!!!!! Loved it,thankyou for the combination,good mix and love the crunch!
I love it. My family is glad I found the food network and using all of these fabulous recipes. Thanks Sunny.
Loved it! Was a hit at the bbq!
I love this recipe! I love the crunch that the fried onions add to the deviled egg. Love it!
This recipe was quick and easy and tasted great. I used only half of a lemon’s worth of zest and it gave a nice, refreshing kick to the eggs without overpowering the flavor. I’ll definitely be making these again.
these deviled eggs were so good!! they’re our new favorite! i didn’t have any lemons so i didn’t use the zest, but they were terrific!! :
I didn’t have the ingredient list in front of me, but I remembered the jalapenos and lemon zest while making my usual egg salad. I will try the recipe as written but these 2 different additions were just delicious! I used a crispy brand jalapeno which I think makes a big difference in enjoyment. It was just YUMMY Sunny!
Don’t leave out the zest. Who would’ve thought, lemon and the jalapenos? It’s delicious!
Not bad, not bad. Missing a little of the sweetness you often get from a traditional Southern-style deviled egg. Here are my fixes/suggestions:
1) Add a splash (teaspoon or less) of the juice from the pickled jalapeno jar. (Many recipes use a teaspoon of vinegar (like Emeril’s), and this adds both vinegar and extra flavor.)
2) Add a splash of the juice from your sweet pickle jar (whether midgets or bread-n-butter pickles). The sweetness is needed.
3) Do not use the WHOLE lemon’s worth of zest. Too much. I used about 1/2 a lemon’s worth.
4) Some chopped chives make a nice green garnish as well.

Tried this recipe at a party, and everyone loved it.
