Notes

If you’re bringing these to a celebration, keep the parmesan crisps in a separate container. Place them on the eggs when you’re ready to serve them. This will prevent them from losing their crispness.

Make-ahead: Eggs can be made early in the day and garnished just before serving.

Foodie de Froid tip: Lay your egg carton on its side the day before you make the deviled eggs. This will help the yolks to center themselves for a picture-perfect deviled egg.
