    I really liked these deviled eggs, it is mostly pantry staples which is great! I would recommend adding a last step of putting the eggs in the refrigerator for several minutes before serving.

    I was disappointed with this recipe. I felt as if the vinegar overpowered the rest of the flavors. This was my first attempt at deviled egg. Perhaps there is a better recipe out there?
