Les Deviled Eggs, originally uploaded by miss.mallory.

I love eggs.

I don't take part in debates about the almighty egg; good or bad for your health? I say, good, period. Just like many things in life, eggs must be enjoyed in moderation, but they are oh so good for your body, your brain and your tastebuds.

So, when my fridge and pantry are sparce, but I need a quick lunch or satisfying breakfast I turn to the egg. Since I'm so fond of baking I generally have plenty of eggs on hand. One of my favorite egg recipes is the deviled egg. Simple, quick, filling, and just a tad decadent. They're so darn easy to make, that in a hunger pinch I can have them on my plate and in my mouth in under 20 minutes, tops. I thought I'd share my really simple, but trust me, delicious recipe, since they are incredibly popular during this spring-time of year.
