When it comes to appetizers, presentation is everything. Charcuterie plates are more enjoyable with a lovely display of cheese and meats artfully arranged around each other, and cupcakes taste better with a cute topping of frosting and sprinkles. My favorite dishes are the ones that involve a bit of artistic flair, like fruit tarts, where you get to arrange the fruit in an aesthetically pleasing pattern.
As fun as it is to use your creativity in the kitchen, some foods can seem a bit too straightforward to make into a work of art. Deviled eggs are one of my favorite appetizers, the combination of egg, mustard, mayonnaise, and seasonings like paprika is somehow addictingly delicious. However, you probably wouldn't choose deviled eggs for creative freedom, since they're pretty consistent in their appearance, and all that you can really change is the seasonings you add to the egg yolk. Fortunately, there are other ways to add your own touch to this appetizer.
Sometimes, the tray we use to serve can make the difference when it comes to presentation! These 11 deviled egg trays range from quirky and cute to elegant and stylish.
