What’s Cooking in Gail’s Kitchen? Fab Foodstuff: Ranch Deviled Eggs! Behold the egg. It serves many options from breakfast omelets to afternoon appetizers, light snacks to mealtime casseroles. And who doesn’t love deviled eggs? Talk about versatility. This version implements the tangy creaminess of ranch flavor so popular in salad dressing. Add a garnish of applewood smoked honey ham crumbles for a superb finish. Make a dozen and watch them disappear.
RANCH DEVILED EGGS
Ingredients:
12 eggs
3 teaspoons dry ranch dressing mix
1/2 cup mayonnaise
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1 tablespoon minced chives
1/2 pound applewood-smoked honey ham or bacon, crumbled
Instructions:
In a 4-quart pan, place eggs in a single layer. Add enough water to cover eggs. Heat to boiling. Remove from heat; cover and let stand for 15 minutes. Drain; rinse with cold water. To remove eggshell, crack it by tapping gently all over; roll between hands to loosen it. Peel, beginning at the large end. Cut eggs lengthwise in half. Transfer to a platter. Remove yolks. In a medium bowl, mash the egg yolks with a fork. Sprinkle with dry ranch dressing mix. Add mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, and minced chives. Stir well. Spoon yolk mixture into egg white halves. Garnish with applewood-smoked honey ham crumbles. Cover and refrigerate 30 minutes before serving. May be prepared a full day in advance.

I’ve done dijon, I’ve done dry mustard and I’ve done crushed red pepper flake. But never ranch dressing mix. It makes sense! Those flavors must bounce together wonderfully.

My mom used to make “stuffed” eggs as appetizers or when we had kind of a cold buffet on Saturday evenings. I saw a comment where it is said that it is not a European thing. I think it depends on the country. It is definitely popular in several variations in the German-speaking parts like Austria, Switzerland, Liechtenstein, and Germany.

Perhaps, as you say, they are called by a different name. I never thought to discover how they became known in America as “deviled”. lol 👹

Haha, when I read “deviled” I thought of a very spicy and hot filling. Perhaps it is because you get addicted to them 😄
