Deviled Eggs
Yvonne Button of Jacksonville, Florida, writes, "I know it seems ridiculous that I am writing to Gourmet to request a recipe for something as unexotic as deviled eggs, but all I want is a very good, basic recipe. At many gatherings, I've noticed that the deviled eggs disappear much more quickly than the fancy hors d'oeuvres." Your choice of paprika will determine this hors d'oeuvre's depth of flavor. You can garnish with any kind (hot or sweet Hungarian, hot or sweet smoked, or regular), but the better the quality, the more complex the flavor will be.
