Something Tender Beneath the Surface
Deviled eggs carry a quiet kind of nostalgia — the sort of dish that appears at the edge of every table worth gathering around, never demanding attention but always disappearing first. This version borrows from that familiar comfort and layers in something softer, something green and rich that rounds every bite with a gentle creaminess. There's a patience to making them well: the slow peel, the careful hollow, the folding together of flavors that deserve to meet each other slowly. A small thing, made with intention.
