Nestle them in a bed of curly parsley or leaf lettuce.

Yes, my mom always used lettuce leaves, too.

You can also cover the egg cartons with foil or pretty paper and then plastic wrap and use those; cupcake liners also keep them contained for serving.

Mini muffin tins work; I'd cover with a pretty cloth, then put plastic wrap over the cloth and nestle the eggs in the cups, or use just a cloth and cupcake liners in the cups. (The tins are just not so attractive on their own). Or if you have a platter with texture, something like this, it works, too. Also, just placing them on a cloth napkin keeps them from sliding around. These are on paper, but I wouldn't use paper, it could discolor the whites, but I think this is a cute idea:

I finely shred lettuce and use it as "Easter Grass" for my deviled eggs. I tuck olives in some of the spaces between eggs. I normally put them in a colored Pyrex baking dish for transport.

Nest in tri-color slaw.

FYI: Walgreens has some (almost disposable) plastic egg plates that hold 12 halves. 2 plates for $1.00. They are sized so they slip into a gallon size Baggie for making ahead and holding in the fridge. Like this one.

I know this dilemma. This year I even saw one, plain white with gold rim..it would meld with my china, but I would use it once a year. I have a medium size crystal plate with a raised lip. Mine nestle in and keep each other upright and fine. With the lip I do not have be concerned they will slip off onto anyone's lap as the plate is passed.

On shredded lettuce works. I prefer to use a quiche dish (shallow w/ straight sides) and line it with a paper doily. It keeps the eggs dry so they don't slide around. I advise not to use shredded red cabbage because it dyes the eggs and makes people nervous. lol!

There's an app for that :-)

Actually, there are many nice china plates specifically for devilled eggs. I think it's a law here in Georgia that every new bride receives one.

I just put them on a plate. Upright and steady has only ever been a problem in transit. I solve that by not filling them until I get where I'm going. I put the filling in a ziploc, cut off a corner, and pipe the filling into the eggs only after I've arrived at my destination..

In a pinch put a couple of paper towels in a rectangle casserole so they won't slide around.

This one is almost identical to what I have, and it's great for transport. Mine was made by Lock n' Lock.

Deviled egg container Mine holds two dozen deviled eggs.

They're inexpensive so it wouldn't hurt to buy a container to keep on hand.

Meant to add, I bought an egg cooker a few years back and now I make D.E. more often. Not once have I had a hard time peeling the egg!

I prefer Curley parsley, it doesn't wilt like lettuce. I have also dumped a bag of frozen peas.

Those deviled peeps are SO cute.

I think just as long as the dish has sides, you will be OK. So probably like a 9X13 casserole would do the trick. I also like the idea of shredded lettuce under them.

I had some at a catered party and they were on a tray of sunflower seeds. It was a sophisticated look as the tray itself was well matched to the amount of eggs and seed.

Great ideas here.

I saw this unique take on deviled eggs, and wanted to share:

http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/food-network-kitchens/square-deviled-eggs.html?soc=socialfnvideo_20160311_59181296&adbid=10153375088826727&adbpl=fb&adbpr=20534666726

It might be a bit more trouble than the usual way, but I may try it one of these days for something different. I really hate peeling eggs.

I just finished the deviled eggs for tonight, and I'm ready to devour them! MizGG, you will never have trouble peeling eggs again with this Egg Cooker.

The few tricks I use is to fill the water completely to the rim, and when the cooker turns off automatically, leave the eggs in there for about 10 min. longer.

Whether I boil or use the cooker (and I don't boil them anymore) I take one hot egg at a time, crack the shell under cold water, and immediately peel it. Takes all of 5 seconds per egg. Flawless!

I can do other things while the eggs cook and not have to keep an eye on them. The cooker takes up little storage.

This is my Lock n' Lock egg keeper. Both products came from QVC which I haven't watched in ages. I may do that this weekend to see what's cooking. :)
