Deviled Eggs are one of those dishes that are so simple to make and taste amazing but are rarely made. This recipe is ideal for starters, buffets, appetizers and as a side dish. Adding the gherkins and jalapenos to simple boiled eggs gives a lovely hit to this dish. These are superb when served alongside Shrimp Tempura, Scallops with Prosciutto and Pea and Potato Samosas – Simple Recipe. The different texture and flavours compliment each other for a plate of the worlds cuisine. Also, this recipe can be made in advance and stored in the fridge. I have also made these for family picnics as they add a variety to the norm.
