It is a long standing tradition to serve Pumpkins at Halloween often as a Soup or Pie so we have created a fun twist on Russian Eggs by making them into mini pumpkins, especially for the big day.
Devilled eggs are also known as Russian Eggs or Dressed Eggs. These are a special Halloween version that have been shaped to look like pumpkins. With tiny chive stalks they are a Halloween treat.
The idea behind these Russian Eggs is simply to hard boil a few eggs, scoop out the centre and mash it with seasoning, then fill the eggs with the mixture. We have used a similar idea for our Loaded Potatoes.

History of Deviled Eggs
The history of deviled eggs can be traced back to ancient civilizations, where the practice of seasoning boiled eggs was first documented.
The term "deviled" emerged in the 18th century, primarily in England, to describe dishes that were prepared with spicy or zesty ingredients.
This culinary trend quickly spread to America, where deviled eggs became a popular appetizer, particularly during social gatherings and festive occasions.
Traditionally, the preparation involves halving hard-boiled eggs, removing the yolks, and mixing them with various ingredients such as mayonnaise, mustard, and spices before spooning or piping the mixture back into the egg whites.
Over the years, numerous variations have emerged, incorporating ingredients like bacon, herbs, and even seafood, reflecting regional tastes and preferences.
Today, deviled eggs remain a favourite at picnics and holiday celebrations.
Deviled eggs or Russian Eggs are hard-boiled eggs that have been shelled, cut in half, and filled with a paste made from the egg yolks mixed with other ingredients such as mayonnaise and mustard.
This recipe has been slightly addapted to make these eggs look like Pumpkins, as a Halloween version of Deviled Eggs.
