I love traditions. To me there is something so comforting about a family knowing that when a Holiday is approaching, a special Menu will be planned. I try to mix it up at our home by including our Traditional Menu with a new Recipe.
My kids love this. The comfort of knowing what to expect and the excitement of wondering what will Mom try this year?
Years ago, out of necessity, I started the tradition of featuring a Deviled Egg Bar every year as our Easter Dinner Appetizer. With four kids all wanting to dye a dozen eggs each, we had a lot of eggs! What else could you possible do with so many dyed Eggs, right? Well this tradition has stuck and has evolved into an Deviled Egg Bar. My kids love coming home from Church on Easter Sunday and digging into our Deviled Egg Bar.
So what is a Deviled Egg Bar? It is traditional Deviled Eggs with lots of fun toppings to choose from. Part of the fun is seeing who can come up with the funnest combination.
I won’t bore you with recipe for Deviled Eggs because honestly everyone has their own recipe that they love. So use your own Deviled Egg Recipe and have fun! The toppings are what make this event so fun and turn boring Deviled Eggs into a fun Appetizer for all.
This year’s toppings will include: Salmon, Roasted Garlic, Oven Roasted “Sun Dried” Tomatoes, Oven Roasted Red Pepper, Feta Cheese, Green Onions,Tabouli, Roasted Onions, sautéed Chorizo and Garlic Shrimp.
Now you wouldn’t be able to load all those toppings on top of the Deviled Eggs without spilling. We make these Deviled Eggs even better by toasting Flour Tortilla Triangles to place your creation on top.
The best part is, my kids can’t wait to see what items I am adding to our Deviled Egg Bar every year.
What toppings would you add to your Deviled Eggs?
