Deviled Eggs with Olives and Cheese Filling #ImprovCookingChallenge

When I first saw the cooking challenge for July on our group page, I was entirely turned off. Not by the ingredients, which I love, but those ingredients together. Nope. My husband gently reminded me that I loved olives and cheese on our charcuterie boards, so then I was mollified and started to go to work on how I wanted to approach it.

One of our all time favorite restaurants has an appetizer of deviled eggs that we love. We had it last night and as I was devouring the egg, I had a revelation to combine this month's Cooking Challenge with deviled eggs. I have to tell you, this was a genius thought! ☺️

I hate it when the shell won't peel off the egg. I love to eat deviled eggs, but I hate to make them! I have learned that this way works for me: Place eggs in pot with cold water. Bring to a boil. Turn off heat, cover pan, wait for 15 minutes. Drain hot water, fill with cold water and some ice. Let sit for 15 minutes. Peels will come off easily! I also use older eggs (two weeks old should do it.)
