History of Deviled Eggs
Deviled eggs can be traced back to ancient Rome, where boiled eggs were seasoned with spicy sauces and served as an appetizer type meal during feasts. Serving eggs while entertaining guests was very common for wealthy Romans.
Medieval Europe
Recipes for hard-boiled eggs stuffed with herbs, cheese, and raisins can be found in the cookery texts of medieval European cuisine.
Andalusian, Spain
The earliest known recipe for stuffed eggs, and the one that most closely resembles the modern-day deviled egg, is believed to have been written in the Andalusian region of Spain during the 13th century. According to the English translation of a recipe found in an unnamed 13th-century Andalusian cookbook; boiled egg yolks were mixed with cilantro (coriander), pepper, and onion juice, then beat with murri (a sauce made of fermented barley or fish), oil, and salt. The mixture was then stuffed into the hollowed-out egg whites, and the two halves of the egg were fastened back together with a small stick and topped with pepper.
North America
The earliest known American recipe for deviled eggs was printed in the Montgomery Advertiser, a local news publication in Montgomery, Alabama, in 1877.
The first known recipe to suggest the use of mayonnaise as an ingredient in deviled eggs was in the 1896 version of an American cookbook named The Boston Cooking School Cook Book by Fannie Farmer.
What does deviled mean?
The word deviled, in reference to food, was in use in the 18th century, with the first known print reference appearing in 1786. In the 19th century, it came to be used most often with spicy or zesty food, including eggs prepared with mustard, pepper or other ingredients stuffed in the yolk cavity.
