(a note before we begin – is it deviled or devilled? Spell check tells me devilled is incorrect but both Larousse Gastronomique and The Oxford Companion to Food use two “l”s. Google, of course, tells me that people use both spellings)
Did you know – October is World Egg Month and today being Hallowe’en, I figured what better to celebrate both occasions with than Devilled Eggs. Wasabi devilled eggs, to be exact!
If you can believe it, I have never made devilled eggs but I wanted to make something a little more special than the classic version which to me screams “1970s!”. Having discovered a tube of wasabi paste in the fridge along with some pickled ginger, I knew that was the direction I wanted to go!

These were really tasty – so unexpected in your mouth because they don’t *look* hot but it’s a nice surprise!
Disclosure: I received a basket of ingredients and utensils from Egg Farmers of Ontario as well as the $50 gift certificate to give away. I was not compensated for writing this blog post.

Devilled, for me. Then again, there’s an argument that all is a bastardisation of the eggs being “delved”, as in hollowed out. 😉
LOVED these. Mr. Neil is a wasabi and spice fan, as you know. However as with the simple act of sprinkling paprika over eggs, the heat is tempered by the soothing egg. In this case, the pickled ginger added a nice touch.
Simple, a good addition to a 70s retro party…
Glad you enjoyed!
Deviled is American, devilled is English, I don’t know where the Canadians stand on the matter. 🙂
Well since I am Australian, I’m going with the Brits.
I love deviled (American spelling) eggs and yours are so dainty — you’d never guess that a spicy heat of wasabi lurked beneath their pretty swirls!
Hi Mardi, this is such a devilish little twist to this egg dish. Love the wasabi and ginger. Happy Hallowe’en
LOL! It’s a great combo for sure!
Devilled always. Eggs – the most versatile ingredient in cooking, the most taken for granted and one part of one of the best dishes ever – bacon and eggs.
True that sometimes the simple things (bacon and eggs) are the best!
Your devilled eggs look yummy. I am surprised to hear that you have never made devilled eggs.
There’s always a first time for everything!
Merveilleux! J’adore le wasabi et le devilled eggs.
Bises,
Rosa
C’est trop bon!
Mardi I searched the whole of the Egg Farmer’s site, and for the life of me I can not find one video … I have had been following their blog (on my Google Reader) for some time. If you have a “link” that I have obviously missed (sry) please let me know ! Thanks 🙂
Cindy – if you click on the names of the egg farmers themselves on the home page, they each have a video (i.e. http://www.eggfarmersofontario.ca/families/vanderwees)
Just finding this as I am back from vacation. I think this is what I want to make tonight! Thanks Mardi!
So so easy David! And welcome home!
