This inventive take on the classic deviled egg adds heat and brine to the mix. Created by chef Cory Bourgeois at Brick & Spoon in Lafayette, Louisiana, the crispy oyster adds plenty of textural contrast to the otherwise soft deviled egg. You can almost taste the ocean and the salty spray right before the zippy sriracha melds with the whipped egg yolk. Make these bite-sized snacks for a beach-day picnic.

Deviled Ham Eggs

Do you ever think that ham and eggs should team up in just, like, one more dish? We found it. This recipe calls for the creamy eggs and spiced deviled ham to join forces for a slightly spicy, tangy treat, originally from The Hive in the 21c Museum Hotel in Arkansas.

Pickled Shrimp Deviled Eggs

True to Southern roots, shrimp had to be on the list somewhere. This recipe by Lauren Utvich includes bay leaves, red onion, and bird’s eye chiles, which makes the resulting combo fresh and light. Enjoy these bites in the garden or on the patio for an evening happy hour.

This deviled eggs recipe is from the Grand Bohemian Hotel in Charleston and is a combination of the traditional deviled egg with a quintessential fried oyster.

A pickled okra garnish enhances the Southern flair and brings much-needed acidity to the otherwise rich dish.

B&G Goat Cheese Deviled Eggs
