History

In the first place, serving deviled eggs at picnics and cocktail parties may have been commonplace in post-World War II America, but these classic creamy concoctions did not originate in the United States. Actually, the dish’s origin can be seen in recipes for boiled, seasoned eggs as far back as ancient Rome, where eggs were boiled, seasoned with spicy sauces; and served at the beginning of a meal as a first course known as gustatio – for wealthy patricians. 

As a matter of fact, a collection of Roman recipes believed to have been compiled sometime between the fourth and fifth century A.D. Furthermore, boiled eggs were traditionally seasoned with oil, wine, or broth; and served with pepper and laser (which was also known as silphium, a plant driven to extinction by the first century A.D.).

Sometime in the 13th century, stuffed eggs began to appear in Andalusia, in what is now Spain. Furthermore, an anonymous cookbook from this time period instructs the reader to pound boiled egg yolks with cilantro, onion juice, pepper, and coriander; and then beat them with murri (a sauce made of fermented barley or fish), oil, and salt. Moreover, after stuffing the mixture into the hollowed egg whites, the two halves were then fastened together with a small stick and peppered.

By the 15th century, stuffed eggs had made their way across much of Europe. In addition, medieval cookbooks contain recipes for boiled eggs that were often filled with raisins, cheese, and herbs such as marjoram, parsley, and mint and then fried in oil; and either topped with a sauce of cinnamon, ginger, cloves, and raisins with verjuice (a tart juice made from unripe fruits) or powdered with sugar and served hot. Although, in the United States, stuffed eggs began making an appearance in cookbooks by the mid-19th century.

In different countries

But in some parts of the world, the popular egg hors d’oeuvres are referred to in France as “mimosa eggs,” in Hungary “stuffed eggs,”in parts of the Southern and Midwestern United States “dressed eggs” or salad eggs” – especially when served at church functions – in order to avoid an association with Satan. The term “angel eggs” has also been used in association with fillings with less fat and cholesterol.

A recipe from Fannie Farmer’s 1896 “Boston Cooking-School Cookbook” was one of the earliest to suggest the use of mayonnaise as a binder for the filling. However, despite the fact that mayonnaise began to be distributed commercially in the United States in 1907, the condiment was not commonly featured in deviled egg recipes until the 1940s. The classic version of deviled eggs is now widely considered to include a mixture of mayonnaise, mustard, and paprika, but professional chefs and home cooks around the world have experimented with numerous variations on the filling throughout history…

  • diced pickle or pickle relish
  • herbs and spices
