Ham and Cheese Deviled Eggs
Notes:
- I like to use a pastry bag to fill my deviled eggs, as it makes it so much easier. You do not need to use a decorative tip if you’re not trying to make the eggs fancy.
- To peel the eggs easier, gently tap them on the counter, and roll the egg. The shell will easily peel off.
- Please check out bottom of the post (under the directions) if you’d like to see photos of the entire cooking process.
