Notes
Take these to a party: If the serving platter has a rim, you can use that to transport them. Otherwise, if your platter is flat, go for a container or baking dish with edges to prevent sliding. You can place a paper towel underneath the eggs to stop them from rolling. Seal them up tight with a lid, reusable wrap, beeswax, or foil. Or if you make deviled eggs often, consider purchasing a deviled eggs serving platter. You'll want to serve them within two hours of making them, so consider your travel time accordingly.
