Like deviled eggs—but faster, easier, more delicious, and fancier-sounding. This recipe calls for peperoncini, but most pickle-y things (cornichons, olives, that jar of dilly beans you've had for years) will work just as well.

Ingredients

4 large eggs, room temperature
2 jarred peperoncini in brine
4 sprigs parsley
