Deviled Eggs?

Factual Questions
1

Why are they called “Deviled Eggs”? Any idea on the origins there? Doing an internet search has turned up minimal results, and searching here I can’t seem to find that this question has ever been asked.

So, basically, why are they called “Deviled Eggs”?

Thanks. :slight_smile:

I think it’s the ham’s fault.
