My mother made the best deviled eggs in the world. Of course, she never had to write down a recipe and seldom had to measure ingredients. She could just tell by looking and tasting. This is the closest I could come to her recipe...very close, but still not mom's, lol. Hope you enjoy!!

Blue Ribbon Recipe

Deviled eggs are a Southern staple at parties and during the holidays. Creamy with bits of crunch throughout, this deviled eggs recipe is so good. The honey mustard gives a hint of sweetness while onion and celery add a wonderful depth of flavor. Be careful how much salt you add if you use the dill relish, though.
