Petite and handheld, deviled eggs are the perfect cocktail party appetizer, easy to hold in one hand while nursing a drink in the other. This recipe from artist Vivian Reiss yields a particularly savory result, thanks to anchovy paste in the filling. If you don’t have a piping bag and tip, simply add the filling to a plastic bag, cut the tip off and use that to pipe the filling in.
