One of the most asked-for appetizers is deviled eggs in our home. On most holidays, you will find these on our tables. We often decorate them with colors of the holiday. Ranch flavored is the favorite flavor combination that goes into the mixture with yolks. These are easy and can be made ahead of time when hosting a dinner party or just a quick appetizer anytime.
