DEVILISHLY DELICIOUS: Deviled Eggs, Three Ways

Deviled eggs are as familiar to most Americans as apple pie. Certainly, they have been a staple at picnics and family dinners for decades.

While some cuts can benefit from long brining times (up to 24 hours or more), even an hour of brining can produce a markedly moister, more flavorful pork chop. Various seasonings can be added to the brining mixture to …
