Adopted Deviled Eggs

Suzanna Marie's Note:

Tickled them a bit to make them feel welcomed. Now they are part of the family. Wherever we go they go, too--for a dish to pass, that is. They like to be dressed up, so I've accommodated their wishes!!!

Quick to put together, and very tasty. I'd never used pickle juice in the yolk mixture before, so that was new for me, and added a nice tang. I tasted the mix before filling, and didn't think it needed any salt, so I left that out. Next time however, I'll probably up the cayenne pepper, but as it stands now, this would be suitable for every taste. Thank Suzanna. I enjoyed this very much. Made for Spring PAC 2010

Yum! Enjoyed this tangy take on traditional deviled eggs. Next time I will add a little more cayenne for my taste. Made for P-A-R-T-Y 2009
