Is it Devilled or Deviled? Who cares?
Either way you spell it, these hard boiled, then split-in-half eggs with the yolks scooped out and mashed, are frequently devoured with enthusiasm at a party. The 1800’s Housewife spells with two Ls and has a source for this question from this link at the Grammarist It depends upon where you live!
my friend Joanne’s deviled/devilled egg dish photos are below.

Joanne writes-
Do I have enough devilled egg dishes?
I do love them and have trouble passing by a devilled egg dish at a yard sale or antique shop…..I’ve collected these over the years and I do indeed make devilled eggs often. My friends ask/expect me to bring them any time a potluck event is planned. My favorite recipe comes from my original Betty Crocker (red plaid cover) cookbook from 1968 ….. the flavor comes from adding mustard and vinegar to the mayo. And I sprinkle mine with dill weed. My friend adds curry powder to hers. Of all of my dishes, I use the long white ceramic one the most.
Here is a link to a one minute video Classic Betty Crocker but I see they omitted the vinegar
Drawing angle lines in case the keys fall out they can easily be put back in order.
