Beer Pickled Deviled Eggs with Goat Cheese and Coppa
Do you like pickled things? And deviled eggs? Please say yes. I know, the idea of pickled eggs might be a little cringy at first, but just trust me, I’d never lead you astray. Pickled eggs with a rich filling and some gorgeously fatty meat are exactly what you want to eat as an appetizer. Or for dinner. Whatever.
Deviled eggs are this rare beast in the food world. They are things from Grandmas, and church potlucks, and our less than culinarily advantageous childhood, but they hold up. They’ve aged well, and everyone will eat them.
However, they don’t math well. Let me explain this. Let’s do some egg math, shall we? It’ll be fun. If someone asks you how many scrambled eggs you can eat, it would probably be 3, maybe 4. Reason and logic will tell you that if this is the case, you could only eat 3 or 4 Deviled eggs, but as we all know you can eat about one thousand, maybe more. The limit does not exist. This is a math black hole that even NASA can’t explain.
Basically what I’m saying is make a double batch. Or a triple if you plan to share.
