Just about every Southerner I know loves deviled eggs. Actually, I can’t think of anyone I know (southerner or not) that doesn’t!
Now, “classic” to me means the 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 them prepared like this at every holiday dinner and family reunion that I’ve ever been to… they’re a staple at gatherings.
How Long Do These Last?
Serve immediately, or store covered in the fridge for no longer than two days before serving.
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!!
