Whether you’ve got leftover hard-boiled eggs from Easter painting sessions or you’re throwing a Mad Men themed party, these little deviled egg puppies are a great way to serve as a starter, finger food or to keep in the fridge for a snack. I wanted to create three different flavours for the filling using the yolk and sautéed onion as a base. They’re easy and fast but full of flavour. I hope you like them.
