Deviled eggs with horseradish
Deviled eggs with horseradish are a zesty, creamy appetizer made by mixing hard-boiled egg yolks with mayonnaise, mustard, and prepared horseradish, then piping the mixture back into the egg white halves. This variation on the classic American party staple gets a sharp, sinus-clearing kick from the horseradish, which cuts through the richness of the yolk filling. They are a popular choice for picnics, holiday gatherings, and potlucks across the United States.
