Why Are They Called Deviled Eggs?
Believe it or not but the deviled egg can be tracked back as far as the ancient Rome. They were often served as hard boiled eggs with a spicy sauce as a first course. The more traditional deviled eggs didn’t come about until the 15th century when they began to mash yolks to create a stuffing for the egg. The name didn’t really become popular until the 18th and 19th century when foods that were spicy were referred to as “deviled”. And since it was common to use spicy mustard, they quickly became a deviled food.

Why do Deviled Eggs Get Watery?
There is a couple easy explanations for why your keto deviled eggs might be sitting in some water when you take them out to serve them.
