Start out by making up a couple of Quiches, one ham and cheese, one mushrooms and broccoli for the veggie lovers at the party. These can be cooked the night before and served at room temperature. Also make up a couple platters of meats and of cheeses. If you put out some hoagie buns and flour tortillas the guests at the party will be able to serve themselves some great sandwiches. Don’t forget to make up a tossed salad and put it in the fridge the night before. Sauces make a great buffet style meal even better and you can set out a bunch for sandwiches and salads.

A great deviled eggs recipe can really make your surprise party eggs irresistible. Start by making up three boiled eggs. Place the eggs into a pot of water, bring to a boil. Once water is boiling time the eggs for one minute. Turn off the heat after one minute and let the eggs sit for ten minutes. This will give you perfect boiled eggs. Once the eggs have cooled enough peel the shell off and slice each in half. Pop the boiled yolks into a bowl with; mustard, salt, pepper, mayonnaise, small amount of chopped pickle, and chopped onion and cayenne pepper. You can vary the amounts to your tastes and how liquid you prefer the deviled eggs to be. A good tip is to start out with less liquid when you start and increase if more is needed. Remember when you are seasoning that the eggs can be quite bland, so you may want to slightly over season the yolk mixture as the whites will even out the flavor.
This deviled eggs recipe for your surprise party will be delicious along with all the other chilled but tasty buffet dishes you serve. Don’t forget paper goods and Surprise party decorations. By just adding even one simple food item to the menu will help create
