Classic Deviled Eggs Recipe
Now, “classic” to me means the deviled eggs have what I consider the basics: mayonnaise, mustard, sweet pickle relish and some spices. Just like my mama always makes and like my grandma made.
I’ve probably eaten deviled eggs prepared like this at every holiday dinner and family reunion that I’ve ever been to… they’re a staple at gatherings.
Enjoy!

Found you through your cheerwine recipe on Our state. Can not wait to try it. But anyway…saw your last name was Brinkley and wanted to reach out to you. My family is from NC, and my name comes from our family name, which is Brinkley (my mom’s maiden name). Just wanted to see where your “Brinkley” name comes from, we may be family way down the line!!
