How to make Football Deviled Eggs
Just a few sprigs of chives and kitchen scissors can easily turn deviled eggs into footballs. Cut one sprig of chives into three pieces the width of the yellow of the egg and cut another piece the length of each egg yellow. Lay the three pieces of the shorter chives across the width of the yellow and lay the longer piece across the shorter pieces to represent the lacings on a football.
Now you have an easy, fun, and delicious twist on a classic party appetizer. Football Deviled Eggs are not your run-of-the-mill deviled eggs. Decorated with chives to look like mini footballs, they’re sure to be a major hit at your next football-themed bash.
Arrange the football eggs on a tray surrounded by olives and different cheeses for a gorgeous football party platter. They could also be the main event on a crudité platter surrounded by baby carrots, stuffed celery, sliced cucumbers, and other favorite fresh vegetables. They are one of the easiest football party food ideas for any football party.

I LOVE deviled eggs! Yours are so cute with the chives for football laces.Gosh, I could eat at least two right now. Yum!
That is also how I cook my hard boiled eggs; I have never seen leftover Hard boiled eggs from any party function.

My husband loves deviled eggs–they are the first thing he'll eat at any potluck–I usually put just a little sweet pickle relish and a tiny bit of onions in mine to give them a little kick.
