We all know one. You know the one we mean... that one pal who tries and simply fails at producing a decent batch of deviled eggs. The eggs are overcooked; the filling is bland, or they turned out just plain ugly. Don\'t be that guy. In fact, it\'s time to toss out Grandma\'s recipe (or at least place it gingerly to the side) and try some fresh, uniquely-flavored deviled egg recipes that will knock the socks off your party guests.

Goat Cheese Deviled Eggs with Prosciutto
Nothing says \"fancy\" like a good cheese and prosciutto pairing. Here, tangy, velvety goat cheese mixes perfectly with smooth mayonnaise and Dijon mustard for a new twist on classic deviled egg filling. With added cornichons (gherkins), shallots, chives, and a thin, salty prosciutto garnish, there is no way these deviled eggs could be bland or boring.
Bacon Blue Deviled Eggs with Roasted Garlic & Asparagus
FACT: Cheese and bacon make everything better. Tangy blue cheese is rich and crumbly, and alongside salty, crunchy thick-cut bacon, you\'ve got yourself a flavorful garnish. Not to mention that the asparagus is seared in bacon fat, garlic and seasonings-just the thing to kick your eggs up a notch.
Just when you thought it couldn\'t get any crazier, someone invented crab rangoon deviled eggs-praise!

Plus, you get a whole shrimp on top, so it\'s an extra-hearty app.

Plus, the cream sauce requires a quality mayo, white vinegar, and Dijon mustard, which, when mixed together, become tangy and packed with flavor.
Guacamole meets deviled eggs. Which is to say...yes! With fresh cilantro, tart lime juice, red onion, avocado and egg yolks, this recipe acts as a fresh take on classic deviled eggs with a perfect Tex-Mex twist. Top it off with chili powder instead of paprika for a bite of spice.
Smoked salmon is a traditionally upscale ingredient that works well for any meal of the day-include party nibbles. Here, the salty, smokey flavor of the fish lends elegant flare to an otherwise pretty classic recipe.
While some might be hesitant to accept the vibrant hue of these eggs, the fact that they are naturally dyed in a pickled beet brine makes it a must-try. The sour, pickled taste on the outside plus the tangy, spiced curry mixture on the inside opens up a whole new world of deviled egg possibilities. Add a sprig or two of rosemary to liven up the presentation.
