TIP OF THE DAY: The New Deviled Egg Isn’t Deviled

We love this idea from food photographer and creative cook Melina Hammer, via Handsome Brook Farm.

Handsome Brook Farm is a pioneer in organic pasture-raised eggs, with distribution on the East Coast. We can assure you that in blind tastes tests two years apart, organic eggs were the clear winner over other eggs.

Which brings us back to Melina Hammer’s inspiration for today’s tip. When we saw her egg garnishes (photo #1), we said: Wow, what a better idea than deviled eggs. Who needs mayo calories when you can add flavor like this?

For holiday entertaining, summer picnics, anytime: Exercise your creative egg garnishing skills.

    ABOUT THE BOILED EGGS

    Melina calls her 6-minute eggs custard eggs, after the creamy consistency of the centers (photo #1). We like them too.

    Boil a couple and see how you like the consistency.
