"Plan ahead these need to chill for 3 hours before serving, these are really good! Make certain that eggs are completely cooled before slicing in half and butter is very soft but not melted, you can adjust all ingredients to taste"

I"ve made these a few times now Kit but kept forgetting to review:-(. I love the addition of cayenne pepper as it added just the right amount of punch. Also, the use of butter is a new one and instead of using plain yellow mustard the dijon was a nice welcome. All the ingredients together work so well. I did omit the onions per families request. Thanks for a great go-to recipe that is used often.~

I have made a many a deviled eggs but these are the best WOW! Made them for Christmas and Everyone was trying to guess what was in them but no one could guess that it was butter. I had to omit the onions for my father in law and the tobacco for the rest of the family but still they were so good mild. I am going to make them again for just mediate family, we are not wimps, and try Colon Cleanser Hot Sauce instead of Tabasco. Thanks for a great recipe Mild or Spicy!

Wow! I made these for my annual BBQ, and they disappeared almost as soon as the plate hit the table. I love how the green onion gives a nice crunch to all of the other creamy ingredients. I used a touch of tabasco instead of the cayenne as I had kids with touchy palates to feed, but I plan to add a bit more heat next time. Thanks for another winning recipe, Kitten, I always know recipes of yours are going to be a hit.

I made this for my annual Holiday Bash last Friday. I should have doubled the recipe, because these were the first appetizers to dissapear! All I heard was, "these are the best deviled eggs ever!" One guest who had a very bad experience with deviled eggs a couple of years ago (food posioning!) was even persuaded to try one, and he loved it! That to me, is the ultimate compliment! Didn't change a thing, and don't see any reason to! Thanks Kitten, your recipes continue to amaze me!

These were the absolute best eggs we have ever eaten. My dh says that these are the eggs he has been looking for all his life. The only thing I did different was add alittle more mayonaise. The taste is fabulous! Thanks for another great recipe!
