Review:
These eggs are the most basic deviled egg recipe I have seen. Just egg yolks, Miracle Whip (which gives a little more bite than mayonnaise), a little milk to thin the filling, some classic yellow mustard, a dash of salt, and some fresh ground pepper or paprika sprinkled on top.
Some people swear by Miracle Whip; others fight to the death for plain mayonnaise. Personally, I think that each has its own benefits, depending on the recipe, but as a rule I like mayonnaise when several other flavors are being added to the filling and Miracle Whip when the filling is very basic. This is the most basic deviled egg recipe out there, so I can see why it calls for Miracle Whip.
However, the Miracle Whip becomes the dominant flavor, with the mustard relegated to a subtle taste and the pepper/paprika seemingly only garnishes. Further, there is a LOT of filling for these eggs, so I think using less Miracle Whip wouldn't hurt.
Overall grade: 60 (on a scale of 1 to 100)
Texture: 15 out of 20
Flavor: 10 out of 20
Appearance: 15 out of 20
Uniqueness: 0 out of 20 (just totally plain)
Ease of preparation: 20 out of 20
