For years, eggs have been the subject of arguments. Eggs are good for you, eggs are bad for you, only eat the egg white, never eat raw eggs.

But now experts agree with what most of us knew all along: Eggs are one of the easiest, most delicious and healthiest foods we can eat.

Your grandmother’s deviled eggs have gone from dowdy to chic, and now they’re a small-bite staple on menus all over town. The two-bite morsels are especially popular as bar food.
