Deviled Eggs With Green Olives

Submitted by Carol F 3

"This is a slightly salty switch from the usual sweet or spicy versions of deviled eggs that most people make. Everybody says they love them even if they hate olives. I get a kick out of some people who discard the olive garnish before they eat the egg. Usually I try to use salad olives so that I can use at least as much pimento as green olive."

I LOVE green olives. I eat them plain all the time. Used to drink the juice too. But I'm a total dill pickle girl when it comes to deviled eggs. Green olives were just NOT good with this combo. On the other hand, my cat who loves olives and deviled eggs loved them LOL.But I wouldn't eat them again

These were good and easy to make. I followed the recipe as written and loved the olives in them but next time would leave out the celery. Made for Fall PAC 2009.

I am not fond of devilled eggs but these were very good. I like the crunch of the celery and the salty olives. Made for PAC Fall 2007

These were one of the best new deviled egg recipes I've tried recently. We enjoyed the olive flavor very much. They are salty, but very good and I especially that with there was plenty of filling! They weren't skimpyly stuffed. I used celery seeds instead of celery, but otherwise made no changes. Made for Pick A Chef Fall '09.
