Deviled Eggs Around the World
Deviled eggs have a long history, tracing back to ancient Rome, where wealthy Romans would serve boiled eggs with spicy sauces as a first course. The term “deviled” originated in the 18th century, referring to foods that were zesty or spiced. Today, deviled eggs are enjoyed worldwide, with different countries giving them their own twist.
In the United States, they’re a classic party appetizer, especially during holidays and picnics. In France, they are called Oeufs Mimosa, with the yolks finely grated to resemble the bright yellow mimosa flower. In Germany, they go by Gefüllte Eier, meaning “stuffed eggs.” Sweden calls them Fyllda Ägg, while in Hungary, they are known as Töltött Tojás, often featuring paprika or other spices common in Hungarian cuisine. Each country’s version reflects local flavors and traditions, making this dish a global favorite with unique variations.
