When our kids were little, Easter eggs were hard plastic eggs filled with candy. Now that the kids are adults, when I speak of Easter eggs, I’m referring to the deviled eggs I like to serve as an appetizer before the Easter holiday meal. We all appreciate a good deviled egg as evidenced by the nine different variations that have been posted to this site. So far.

This year’s version replaces some of the mayonnaise with Boursin herbed cheese, for a light and flavorful Easter appetizer! For those interested in the previous deviled egg recipes, click on the links below:
