Plus, deviled eggs are having amoment right now. Nelson Serrano-Bahri, professional chef and Director of Innovation for the American Egg Board, attributes the popularity of deviled egg recipes to straight-up nostalgia.
“Just like fashion, food comes back. There are certain things that we grow up with that make us go back to our childhood, and it makes us feel good,” he said. “I feel that deviled eggs are that – they're part of Americana comfort food.”
