Pepperoni Pizza Deviled Eggs

Do you love deviled eggs? How about pepperoni pizza? What if you put the two together? Pizza deviled eggs might sound strange but I promise they are just delicious!

I was skeptical at first. Pepperoni? On a deviled egg? Most deviled egg recipes I’ve had with extra/different ingredients than the traditional way haven’t been that great. But I just had to try these. They looked too interesting not to. And you know what? They are amazing! It took a lot of restraint to not eat them all myself. Thankfully I had friends over to help.

Now I have to figure out what to do with the remaining bag of mini pepperonis. Pizza tater tot casserole is a serious contender. Any other ideas??
