Whether you’re headed to a party or simply getting together with friends in your backyard, trust that Paula Deen’s Herbed Deviled Eggs recipe-also known as picnic eggs-should be on everyone’s table. And though the price of eggs goes up and down these days, this fabulous finger food has always been affordable. So, what better way to show off your creamy tangy treats that with fun deviled egg platters?

Paula's recipe stars 3 different kinds of herbs-chives, dill and cilantro-but feel free to use whatever fresh herbs you have on hand. And don’t hesitate to add your own little touches. Try adding crumbled bacon or a dash or two of hot sauce. These good-to-go gems taste best after they've had time to chill (and the flavors keep developing as they sit). That’s why we recommend you make them at least a day in advance.
