Ingredients
To make these you’ll need:

How to Make
Making Italian caper deviled eggs is very similar to making regular deviled eggs.
Start by cutting the peeled hard boiled eggs in half lengthwise.
Scoop the yolks out into the bowl of a food processor and put the hollowed out whites on a serving plate.
Add the rest of the ingredients to the food processor with the yolks and pulse them together until they are smooth.
Scoop the filling into a large ziplocking bag or a piping bag.
Twist the top of the bag to remove the air and push the filling into one corner.
Make a small snip to cut off the plastic corner of the bag and squeeze a dollop into each shell, dividing the filling evenly.
Garnish them with an extra sprinkle of Italian seasoning and capers.
Serve and enjoy!
