Here's Heinz's 1972 recipe for pickled eggs.
Slowly blend 2 cups Heinz Distilled White Vinegar into 2 tbsp. mild mustard. Add 1/2 cup water, 1 cup sugar, 6 whole cloves, 1 tbsp each: salt, celery seed, mustard seed. Simmer 10 minutes; cool. Pour over 12 shelled hard-cooked eggs and 2 onions sliced. Cover; refrigerate overnight. Makes 1 dozen.
I've always been a little weird about eggs.
As a child, I would only eat eggs prepared by mother or one of my grandmothers. Scrambled eggs at slumber parties, made by friends' mothers, grossed me out. They looked wet and slimey, even though I'm pretty sure that was just me.
I've gotten better as I've aged. However, I continue to be repulsed by deviled eggs made by anyone other than my mother or me.
Go figure.
I like to make deviled eggs for Easter. So here's a deviled eggs recipe from the 1950s.
4 hard-cooked eggs
1 tbsp. Heinz Sweet or India Relish
1 tbsp. Heinz Tomato Ketchup
1 tbsp. mayonnaise or salad dressing
1/2 tsp. Heinz Prepared Mustard
Salt & pepper to taste
Remove the shells from the eggs. Cut eggs lengthwise; remove yolks. Mash yolks; blend with remaining ingredients. Refill egg whites with mixture. Chill. Makes 8 deviled eggs.
It's me again. You can fill the egg whites with a spoon, but I find it's worth the effort to fill them using a pastry bag and a star-shaped tip.

Bacon and Egg Pie is the perfect brunch food.
Actually, it's a perfect meal for any time of day.
Here's a close-up of this 1959 recipe:
If you don't feel like making your own pie crust, substitute a refrigerated Pillsbury pie crust. I've tried other brands, but I think Pillsbury is the best.
For the cheese (which I shred rather than grate), Gruyere is my favorite for quiche.

Love this recipe.
Just a tad more work than a simple dropped egg on toast and, voila, egg nests.
This 1977 ad touts egg nests as an economical lunch. They'd also make a great brunch, maybe with a sprinkling of chopped chives.

This is a recipe for people who know nothing about cooking.
I suggest you also serve breakfast sausages (directions are on the box), orange juice in a nice glass pitcher and put fresh flowers on the table. No one will ever guess you dumped a can of soup into your eggs.
Merry Christmas!
