Bar none, this is the best deviled egg recipe you will ever make. Minor quibble with the use of only 8 of 12 yolks. Uh, you should get your fingers messy when eating deviled eggs, so just let the filling overflow. Also, for a different look, I cut the ends flat and cut crossways through the middle of the egg (rather than along the length) and stand them up like Weebles. They just look upright and not so lazy and can go on a regular plate without sliding around like passengers on a sinking Titanic.
