Chef Stephanie says:
“Eggs are so versatile and can be found locally in every region in Ontario! Devilled eggs became very popular in the 1920’s, again in the 1950’s with potlucks and picnics, and are still a sought-after finger food at wedding receptions and cocktail parties. Changing them up while showcasing other fantastic local ingredients puts a modern twist on a homegrown favourite!”
