It's the rare person who doesn't enjoy the delicious chilled treat of deviled eggs, either as an appetizer or as a side dish at parties and gatherings.

But first, a little interesting history about the hard-boiled deviled egg recipe.

Deviled egg recipes appeared as early as the 13th century, when eggs were stuffed with cheese, oils, raisins, saffron and other herbs, according to the North Carolina Egg Association.

The deviled egg recipe spread throughout 15th-century Europe and landed in America during the 19th century, the South Florida Reporter and others noted. The recipe also varies depending on location, pointed out Ancestral Findings.

In the U.K., the dish is known as deviled eggs, as they are here.

Yet in other parts of the world, they may be known as dressed eggs, eggs mimosa, stuffed eggs — even angel eggs.

The recipe featured in this article is what many Americans are familiar with today. (Back in 1786, to "devil" a food meant to cook it with a spicy seasoning or over very high heat, according to the Oxford English Dictionary. It was thought that this association grew from the similarly high heat presumed from the depths of hell, The Daily Meal reported.)

This appetizer recipe is made with mayonnaise, spicy mustard and a pinch of smoked paprika that is sure to send taste buds to heaven in this "devilishly" popular dish.
