Family Reunion Deviled Eggs

Source of Recipe

From "Paula Deen's Southern Cooking Bible"


Recipe Introduction

"When I was a child and we would go on family picnics, there were three things I knew I could always find in the basket. One was the tomatoes to make tomato sandwiches, two was fried chicken, and three was deviled eggs. I swear, Bubba and I just didn't know which one to eat up first!"

List of Ingredients

â—¦ 1 dozen large eggs
â—¦ â…“ cup mayonnaise
â—¦ 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
â—¦ ¼ teaspoon hot sauce
â—¦ Salt and black pepper
â—¦ Paprika, for garnish


Recipe

Place the eggs in a large pot and cover them with cold water. Bring the water to a boil over high heat. Immediately remove the pot from the heat, cover it, and let stand for 10 minutes. Uncover the pot and let the eggs cool in the water.

Peel the eggs and halve them lengthwise. Pop the yolks out into a large bowl and arrange the whites on a pretty serving platter.

Mash the yolks with the mayonnaise, mustard, hot sauce, and salt and black pepper to taste until everything is thoroughly combined and smooth. Spoon the filling back into the egg whites and serve lightly dusted with paprika.
